The COVID-19 outbreak has taken over the world and has affected the pro wrestling world as well. Pro wrestling has managed to combat the situation by taking the necessary steps in order to put on shows. However, it is very unlikely we will be seeing live crowds during shows for a long time.
According to a report by Sports Illustrated, hopes of seeing fans during live shows have been quashed. PhD of epidemiology Zach Binney revealed that live sporting events will not return until a COVID-19 vaccine is found.
“We will not have sporting events with fans until we have a vaccine.”
Both Impact Wrestling and AEW have taped months’ worth of content for their shows. On the other hand, Vince McMahon will be running live WWE shows after he suddenly changed his mind on pre-taping shows.
