• FOX Officials Pushing WWE To Bring Back Live Crowds
According to Wrestlevotes, FOX Officials have made it clear to WWE that they want live crowds to return to WWE shows as soon as possible, just like other sports are doing.
“Heard from a very reliable source that FOX has privately pushed for a return to live crowds over the past few weeks, actively seeking updates on timeframes, etc. They’d like their billion dollar investment on the same playing field as the MLB, NBA & others.”
Prior to this update, Wrestlevotes also reported that the current plan for WWE to return on the road is in August:
“From a few sources I’ve asked, it doesn’t seem like AEW starting back on the road in July will impact WWE’s return to touring plans. While this could change as Vince & Co like to be number 1 for these types of things, as of today, it still looks like August for them.”
