• WrestleMania Level Entrances Will Now Happen Every Week Due To WWE ThunderDome

WWE has announced that fans will be in arena via live video on LED boards starting from this Friday’s SmackDown. This introduction of virtual fans is being called ThunderDome.

With that being said, WWE VP Kevin Dunn said during an interview with Sports Illustrated that WWE Superstars’ entrances every week will now be better than their WrestleMania entrances due to WWE ThunderDome:

“We’re flying drones in the arena, we are putting a roof inside the Amway Center, and we’ll be able to project content onto the roof.

So when a big star like Drew McIntyre comes down to the ring, the whole arena will turn into his content with lasers, pyro, smoke, projections on the top of the building and on the floor.

It will be a big, beautiful entrance, better than WrestleMania.”
