A fan of professional wrestling knows that unlike other sports, audience reaction plays a pivotal part in the storylines of the shows. There is live interaction between the superstars and the audience from which wrestlers play off the reaction of the crowd. The names of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, The Rock, John Cena, CM Punk became ‘super’ superstars after mesmerizing the audience. But circumstances were really testing for WWE to pull off their weekly show SmackDown without a live audience after the COVID-19 pandemic.
So how did WWE perform when they had to hold a show without the audience?
Even though it was weird but WWE did manage to pull off decent two-hours of television. Cena returned to hype his match with ‘The Fiend’ at WrestleMania. Cena was in top form during the final segment of the show.
