Austin Theory cut a promo from inside an empty arena that aired on this week’s Monday Night Raw, hyping up his United States Championship match against John Cena. Unfortunately, the promo didn’t have the desired effect for many fans watching at home, as the sight of an empty arena brought immediate flashbacks of WWE’s times in the ThunderDome during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can see some of the reactions below.
WWE has already announced Theory and Cena will open Night One of WrestleMania on Saturday night at SoFi Stadium. If Cena wins, he’ll tie Ric Flair’s record for most United States Championship reigns at six.
