The coronavirus pandemic drastically altered the way the wrestling business operates, as WWE has been running most of their shows from a closed set for over a year now, but it looks like fans will be returning sooner than later.
It was recently reported that fans would be returning in July, and today the official WWE on FOX Twitter account confirmed that fans will be in attendance for the July 16th episode of Friday Night SmackDown at the Toyota Center in Houston, TX.
