Who has benefited from the empty arena era?

[Lance Uppercut]

Some of these shows are a drag, but it’s helping for some people

The Zalina Vega crew is all over the place
They’ve really seem to Love Asuka now
Aleistair black is killing jobbers weekly and looks to be picking up steam
Bray Wyatt and the undertaker wouldn’t have those cinematic matches with a normal wrestle mania
Edge, ORTON, Seth’s promo we’re really good leading up to wrestle mania now that they don’t have work off an audience like a sitcom with live studio audience

Someone said that Dexter Lumis character is well suited with the empty arena

NXT, actually filming more character driving stuff with the wrestlers they’re not using and the new people are getting to wrestle more

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Dexter Lumis is the one who has benefited the most. He just fits perfectly in the empty arena environment.

[DSR]

I mean, he was knocking it out of the park before this whole mess came about, but Drew has been a treat! I went from "ugh, this guy" to "alright, THIS GUY!"

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Austin Theory got a spot on Raw, firstly because Rezar got injured, taking AoP out of the Raw tag title match at Wrestlemania. Then they decided to replace AoP with Zelina's duo of Garza and Andrade, who were available because Rey Mysterio had to be quarantined. Then Andrade got injured, so finally they decided to call up Theory, likely because he and Garza had chemistry from NXT house shows they were working before the pandemic.

Any one of those things doesn't happen, and Austin Theory doesn't debut on Raw.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

People want to see the Undertaker again after he had the best match at Mania because of the restraints they had so I'd put him right at the top of the list.

[Soultastic]

I wouldn't call it a "benefit", but I think Cesaro and Bryan have really been allowed to shine, they are the best at focusing entirely on their opponent and not depending on the crowd.

[4real]

A lot certainly benefited from Mania being in an empty Arena. Edge & Orton were the big losers as their match sucked hard and needed the crowd.

Braun Strowman benefited the most despite some of his views.

[Joe Neglia]

Everyone still on the roster who have spent more time at home resting their bodies.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Not to pick from what already been said. Apollo Crews, yes he was on a losing end of the match but honestly if we where in a normal setting, would he ever gotten a 30 min competitive match that show cased his ability?

[SirLucas]

Dexter Lumis, that silent entrance is dope!

[Bang Bang Bart]

Roman Reigns, who's getting more time to spend with his family and give himself a good breather.

[fw91]

Drew. He seems to know how to deliver his promos in a way that is complimentary to the conditions Thus, he is looking legit and badass. When the crowds come back, he should be really over.

Interested seeing Dexter do something, haven't seen anything yet. Asuka has been pretty great after letting everyone down by losing to Beck's.

[Deleted]

Kairi probably the least. She's just been a rag doll when I think she should be having 15 minute matches with top performers instead. But I take what I get. # TaminaAndJaxMITB

[Mid-Carder]

I felt sorry for Drew going into Mania as I thought he would really suffer having no crowd. For some reason I found the empty arena moment and his "thank you" to the camera much more poignant.

[kidkamikaze10]

Everyone taking a break.

Then Dexter and Asuka.

[Lance Uppercut]

I’d also say guys Gulak, Kross, thatcher are benefitting for various reasons

Gulak and thatcher can get across their technical style without fear of the audience turning on them and they use this time to recondition the audience to that style of wrestling.

I don’t know how Kross entrance would sound without the silence and people cheering for this evil monster

[Push R Truth]

Me, because it's amazing not having shitty WHAT chants.


Although now I want the "NXT crowd" to start one, just once, for shits and giggles.

[Jonathan Michaels]

I’m wondering who the empty shows are hurting the most.

The Edge and Orion program has suffered a bit, I feel.

Heat magnets like Miz are also having difficulty.

[Deleted]

Asuka and Zelina.
