I would say Apollo has definitely benefitted the most in that he's someone whose always had all the physical tools and he's someone who I think they've always liked but unfortunately fans have just never given a crap about him. As a result I think that's why any previous attempts of pushing him would quickly get dropped as he would come out to crickets and I think they would panic and realize it wasn't a good idea. However now there is no crowds so in his latest push he didn't have to worry about that and as a result it was able to come to fruition and he's in a pretty good spot right now.

yup those two more than anyone I think. the rest of zelina's team rocket crew not so much but her yes. drew's in kind of a weird spot, he's become the face of the company more or less but he doesn't have the extra oomph that having a crowd to work with would help. as for asuka- just have her out there the entire 3 hours- talk show segment, interrupting people's backstage promos, showing up in the crowd, commentary, special guest ref, oh yeah having a match too and it would be the first RAW I won't FF through in an hour and a half or less.

I don't think it's directly been because of the empty arena, but Sonya's been knocking it out the park over the past few weeks.

I’ve enjoyed Asuka and Vega a ton during this period, and I’m glad Crews is finally getting some shine.
But in terms of heat and electricity? Everyone, sadly. Yes, there are people in the building making noise, but it’s a small crowd of wrestlers. Pro wrestlers are the biggest fans of all, so it’s easy to get them to pop unless they see something Shockmaster-level bad. I’m waiting to see how Joe Public and his daughter Cindy Public react to new events.

This thread sort of intersects with something I'm fascinated with. That first RAW/SD/PPV with actual fans in attendance. Time will have elapsed so much that I cannot figure which wrestlers are gonna get better or worse reactions than before the pandemic hit.
As for topic, no doubt Dexter Lumis is big winner. His character might actually suffer once the Full Sail crowd gets to chant things at him.

AJ Styles. The man’s match with Undertaker was a Wrestlemania main event.

They aren't just going to go back on the road to a sold out 20,000 seat arena one week. More than likely, they will let a small amount of Full Sail regulars into the Performance Center behind the sneeze-guards, and increase capacity as time goes on. If nothing else, their opinions will probably mirror the reactions what we will get when all restrictions are finally off.

I think the crowd would have turned on Mandy by now and started cheering for Sonya

Undertaker. If not done cinematically, the match with AJ would’ve sucked.

I can't believe it took them this long to realize how entertaining Zelina is. It's funny joking about how often she's been featured, but she really is a highlight each week with her facial expressions which are up there with Alexa, Asuka, and Adam Cole's as the best in the company.

I think they'll let in like 10, then 20, then 30, then 50 people to start on house shows to test it out til it's safe enough to do 100 for their tapings cause it be weird to see 20 fans for RAW.

Part of me hopes that they take what some of what they'be been forced to do and implement they with their live shows when they can have audiences again. Raw has been overproduced in the wrong areas of focus for ages.
