According to @Wrestlevotes, FOX wants their billion dollar investment in WWE to be on the same playing field as the MLB, the NBA and other sports leagues. The network is reportedly actively seeking updates on timeframes and information related to the return to touring for the company.

“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.”


WWE moved to the performance center after they began hosting their shows without a crowd. The WWE eventually moved to the ThunderDome. However, it appears that the WWE are ready to welcome the fans full time and if Andrew Zarian of Mat Men Pro Wrestlin is right, that could happen anytime between July 16 -19.

According to the report, Friday, July 16 would be a live SmackDown with fans, while Saturday would be some sort of live event, and then the WWE Money In the Bank pay-per-view would be held on Sunday, July 18, with a live RAW being held on Monday, July 19
