WWE Doesn’t Seem To Be Planning A Future Involving House Shows
WWE is looking to welcome back fans to their shows with WrestleMania this weekend. It’s a good sign for the return of fans to shows and live events, but it seems like they’re still taking their time with that.
WWE’s President Nick Khan was a guest on the Colin Cowherd Podcast where he talked about WWE had developed a plan for running three shows a week for live fans: Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. Nowhere in the conversation came up the idea of returning to house shows, a staple of WWE prior to the pandemic.
“So for this weekend’s event, 25,000 per night, 25,000 for Saturday, 25,000 for Sunday. It’s our first go back for our performers with fans in attendance. Everyone’s excited. From there, we’re not going back on tour yet, but we’re plotting out when we’re going to return. Once we return, there’s no going back. So, once we return, it’s going to be twice a week or with NXT, three times a week.”
House shows were quickly becoming outdated and many felt they should have been cut prior to the pandemic. While no events have been set in stone for fans following WrestleMania, it seems like WWE is looking to find a timeline where it’s safe to bring in those fans 2-3 times a week for the return of the live experience.
