FOX Pushing WWE To Bring Back Live Crowds Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on May 20, 2021
Insider wrestling source @WrestleVotes is reporting on Twitter that FOX, the home of Friday Night SmackDown is pushing the company for the return of live crowds. 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.
