Upcoming WWE SmackDown Airing From Two Venues

Double it up. The biggest wrestling story of July will be fans returning to the venues, both for AEW and WWE. Things are going to change again and this time in a more positive direction. There is something very cool about seeing wrestling companies going back on the road, as the energy will be boosted up all over again. It turns out that the boost is coming from two places at once in one instance.

WWE has announced that SmackDown will air from two venues on July 23, which will be the second edition of the show featuring fans in attendance. The show will be split between the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio and the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami, Florida. There is no word on if the show in Cleveland will have additional matches to make up for part of the card taking place elsewhere.

There have been some split location shows before. Check out a few of the past versions:

The British Bulldogs vs. The Dream Team – World Tag Team Championship Match: WrestleMania 2

Dusty Rhodes vs. Ric Flair: NWA World Championship - Starrcade 1985

WWE RAW 15th Anniversary -- Shane on Nitro

Opinion: This is one of those things that might not mean anything in the long term but it is going to give the show a bit of energy. WWE is being handed one of the greatest chances they have had to make a splash in a very long time and they would be crazy not to capitalize on it. While it is just a one off idea, it is something different and that is what WWE needs at the moment.

What do you think of the move? How will it work out? Let us know in the comments below.
