Starting from tonight, WWE Universe will be home where they belong that is the live events produced by the company, throughout the cities of the USA and beyond. They were banned from attending shows for 495 days except for the two nights of Wrestlemania 37. Now WWE resumes their touring schedule across several towns starting with the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas from where this week’s Smackdown is scheduled.
As WWE Universe will be filing in the venue, a few hours later, McMahons are thrilled to welcome them back as fans are considered to be the life of professional wrestling. WWE employees have been pumped up for live fans to return as well as with the superstars. The WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon issued an e-mail, earlier the day as the company prepares to return to touring.
Stephanie McMahon looked forward to fans returning to shows as she noted that WWE has been missing their “soundtrack, missing the shared experience, missing the visceral and emotional reaction that makes every bump and bruise worth it.” This is what her message, dedicated to WWE Universe, was,
“For over a year and a half, WWE has been missing the lifeblood of our shows, our fans. No matter how hard we tried, never going off the air and continuing to produce our live content; investing in new technologies and bringing nearly one million people around the world into our shows virtually, it just wasn’t the same. We were missing our soundtrack, missing the shared experience, missing the visceral and emotional reaction that makes every bump and bruise worth it.”
