WWE has been holding showed sans the audience for almost two months. The tradition of hosting closed-door events started from March 13 edition of Friday Night SmackDown which still continues and there’s no update on how and when the pro-wrestling fans could be back in attendance in an arena to enjoy a show.

WrestleMania 36 also took place without an audience inside the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida on April 4 and 5 in taped format. The upcoming Money In The Bank pay-per-view will also take place in a similar condition at the WWE Headquarters and the WWE PC, without fans on May 10. The assumption is that it’d be a long time that WWE can’t allow fans to come and attend the programming.
However, there’s some bright news coming out of the Florida authority which indicates that soon these bans will be lifted and that could happen within just two months!

He promised that support for Wrestling and MMA events being will be intact, always. DeSantis also stated that there’s a possibility of hosting events having fans by June/July.
DeSantis elaborated saying that the arenas won’t be fully packed since social distancing will have to be maintained. But a limited number of fans could attend the shows assuming that the coronavirus outbreak would be slowing down by June or July.
WWE has also arranged the taping schedule until July 1st hoping that they could bring back live shows with fans from that point onwards.
It keeps the hope alive that WWE SummerSlam could take place with fans in attendance on August 27th at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusettes. The speculations were that the biggest party of the summer would be canceled from the original host venue, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But still, some positive chances remain with the second-largest wrestling PPV of the year which can take place with full glory.
