This is a rumor, so take it for what it’s worth. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on many aspects of the lives of many people around the world. For sports, the most problematic area has been the lack of fans that their events. Professional wrestling has been no different and it would seem that a major network has been inquiring about when this will be changing.

According to a tweet from WrestleVotes:

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.

This is what we are all ready to experience again:

Editor’s Opinion:

WWE is playing in a different atmosphere when dealing with a major network like FOX and I don’t blame their executives for wondering when fans will be back in attendance at WWE shows. I would think that FOX executives are treating WWE like another one of the major sports and if fans can return to other sporting events, why can’t this happen for professional wrestling?
