WWE unveiled it’s ‘ThunderDome’ on social media today, giving fans a look into their new venue moving forward, and starting tonight on SmackDown.
Just in case you were wondering what ThunderDome is, according to WWE: “WWE ThunderDome is a state-of-the-art set, video boards, pyrotechnics, lasers, cutting-edge graphics and drone cameras, that will take WWE fans’ viewing experience to an unprecedented level. WWE ThunderDome will virtually bring fans into the arena via live video on massive LED boards for every Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown and WWE pay-per-view event. ”
While AEW announced fans being allowed to attend in limited capacity, WWE has gone the route of something similar to what the NBA had done in the bubble, in terms of fans attending virtually.
As of now, this is where the WWE will be hosting events, which moves them away from their Performance Center and will provide a completely new viewing experience and fan interaction.
