A live crowd in attendance for WWE SummerSlam 2021 is reportedly planned.
Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated reported WWE is planning to have fans in attendance for SummerSlam which takes place in August, although no date or location has been set. The hope is that majority of the U.S. population will have had both their COVID-19 vaccines by then.
WWE President Nick Khan recently said the next time WWE goes back on the road with fans will be the return to full-time crowds.
At present, WWE will continue to air their weekly television and pay-per-views inside the Yuengling Center in Tampa, FL with a virtual crowd on screens.
Ace Austin Reflects On An Embarrassing Moment When He First Met AJ Styles Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on Apr 19, 2021
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, current Impact Wrestling X-Division Champion Ace Austin reflected back on his embarrassing fan moment with AJ Styles.
Back in 2014, a young 17-year old Austin paid $20 to get a photograph with Styles in the ring, and he ended up falling as soon got in! For $20 I got a photo of me and AJ Styles in the ring when I went to an Impact Show in 2014. I had never been in a ring before that. As soon as I stepped on the canvas, it was like nothing I stepped on before. I lost my balance, total fail.
A&E will air a documentary special on Steve Austin tonight at 8PM ET.
