While the WWE shows from past few weeks have been suffering from poor attendance, this week’s episode of SmackDown Live took it to new heights.
As noted by several fans, more than 50% of the seats in the arena were empty and almost the entire deck on the hard cam side was tarped off. Below are some of the photos of the empty seats posted by fans in attendance:

It’s worth mentioning here that Raw also suffered the same fate as there were many empty seats at the show as well. Below is a photo showcasing the poor crowd at Raw this week:

There are lots of speculations on why the company is suffering from such low attendance but overall it can be blamed on the misuse of top stars and boring storylines
