So today we’ll be getting into the muting of the live WWE crowds, Alexa Bliss’ tattoo,
John Cena, and much more
For today’s question of the day: how do you feel about WWE muting the live crowds
and piping in fake reactions and noises?
Is that okay with you or does it take away from the viewing experience?
Let us know what your thoughts are on that
So let’s get into this topic, Raw was live in Chicago this week and that fact alone had
a lot of fans hyped for the show
The Chicago crowd has always been known for being one of those hardcore wrestling crowds.
Those are serious wrestling fans that are very vocal for all of their wrestling shows
So a live wrestling show in Chicago always has everyone excited to tune in, but unfortunately
this Chicago was muted for a majorly of the night
It’s been reported and rumored over the years that they would turn down the crowds
audio and pipe in their own noise, but it was always decently hidden
That wasn’t the case of this weeks raw at all, they didn’t even try to hide it at
all
If you have the raw broadcast still recorded, you can go back to Drew McIntyre’s entrance
and actually hear Audio of Micheal Cole saying “16 time champion” during Drew’s entrance,
reason being that WWE pipped in John Cena’s money in the bank return pop for Drew McIntyre’s
entrance
And you actually hear Michael Cole talk about John Cena in the background of the raw broadcast,
so whoever was in charge of the Audio there really exposed what they were doing
And not only that, but there were several points throughout the show where the crowd
noise we were hearing on the broadcast didn’t match what the crowd was doing at all, so
just more evidence of piped in reactions and muting the crowd
The crowd, like WWE advertised themselves for so many weeks leading up to their return,
plays such a big role in the live show experience and adds a lot to the show
So for you to put them on mute and pipe in your own reactions again is a very weird thing
to do, everyone thought we were done with that
Should’ve just stayed inside the thunder-dome if that was going to be the case
What was the point of advertising the fans returning if they’re gonna be put on mute
all night, so that fact there takes a lot out of the show, sort of makes you feel like
you’re back inside the thunderdome since you can’t hear what the live crowd is actually
saying
The most dominating chant of the night from the Chicago crowd was “We want Wyatt”,
of course referring to Bray Wyatt, who was just released
The chants for Bray Wyatt went on for a majority of the show
Of course, you couldn’t hear the chants that clearly because of the lowered crowd
mics, but if you want watch fan recorded footage from the venue, you can hear just loud these
chants were, but us at home, didn’t hear it like that because of all the audio manipulation
that was going on from the production side of things
The fans weren’t doing that to be annoying and hijack the show, they were saying it to
let WWE know how they feel, that everyone loves and wants Bray Wyatt
There’s even some social media movements with the hashtag of “Rehire Bray Wyatt”
We saw a situation just a few weeks ago where Samoa Joe was rehired by WWE after being a
part of these budget cuts, so Bray Wyatt fans are holding out hope for that same situation
to play out for Bray, but it just seems highly unlikely
But yeah, in typical fashion, it’s weird to promote the return of your live fans for
weeks and then fully mute one of your first few live crowds back, but that’s just how
things are it seems like
But what are your thoughts on the muting of the live crowds?

Alexa Bliss recently took to her Instagram story to reveal that her Disney tattoo post
was taken down by Instagram for being offensive
Alexa Bliss is a massive Disney fan, she has said several times that Disney World is her
favorite place in the world and she’s just a major fan of all things Disney related
She’s such a big fan that she has several clear inked tattoos that reference Disney
She has a hidden Mickey Mouse, the coordinates of the Cinderella Castle, and much more tattoos
like that
Alexa also makes several posts whenever she gets a new piece or any touch-ups done, but
what happened this week was that Instagram officially took down her post of the Disney
tattoos by saying the post contained offensive content
Obviously, that wasn’t the case.
A Disney tattoo isn’t offensive to anyone, but that’s what their claim was
Alexa reacted to the post removal by posting this message to her instagram story:
“Apparently my Disney tattoo was offensive so Instagram took it down, okay Instagram”
So hopefully they fix that situation up
But in other Alexa Bliss related news, we had some progress to her story with Eva Marie
this week that got two segments on Raw
First, Alexa Bliss and Lilly poked fun at Eva Marie during the big loss on Raw
Eva Marie followed that up by attacking Alexa Bliss during Alexa’s playground
Alexa goes down and stays down in pain, but the camera goes over to Lilly who slowly stood
up on her own after the attack
So what were they aiming for here?
Clearly maybe some sort of chuckie evil doll sort or vibe here, just the big reveal that
the doll is actually alive and that Alexa wasn’t making that up
So it was a big moment and reveal in the case.
The doll, Lilly, is actually alive and Alexa is not crazy at all
This moment was supposed to be a horror moment, a moment that left you frightened and left
in awe, but the entire live Chicago crowd just exploded in laughter when this moment
happened
So it was a big reveal, finally some progression in Lilly’s story, but again, it just didn’t
translate well with some fans, who just can’t help but to view it as being goofy and comedic
So that’s a small issue, but it all depends on where they take it from here.
Lilly the doll is alive, we now know that for sure, the only thing we wait on now is
for Lilly to appear as her human form and what exactly will that look like
Is it special makeup, maybe something similar to finn Balor’s body paint, or is it something
similar to the Fiend where Alexa will have an actual mask?
That’s what we’ll have to wait and see.
So far the story seems like it can lead to Lilly officially making her debut at Summerslam
to finally destroy Eva Marie
If Lilly doesn’t debut at Summerslam and it’s just ordinary Alexa Bliss then who
knows if they’re ever going to debut that alter ego for Alexa, but Summerslam seems
to be the perfect spot at this given time
So will it be Lilly vs Eva Marie and Lilly has an impressive start like The Fiend had
back at Summerslam 2019?
Possibly so, but for the sake of Alexa’s Fiend, let’s hope she doesn’t follow anything
the Fiend did after summerslam ‘19 because things got messy real quick

John Cena and Miro recently reunited on the red carpet for “T.S.S” this week
John Cena, Margo Robbie, Idris Elba, and more stars from the film all came out for the premiere
of the movie
John Cena came dressed in his PeaceMaker outfit and was caught talking with AEW TNT Champion
Miro
Miro and Cena of course had a long feud and rivalry with each other in WWE
So the two of them reunited on the carpet and were catching up with one another
John Cena even introduced Miro to his wife Shay as well
So it was great to see the two of them meet up again
Things are going great for Miro over at AEW and John Cena is set to headline Summerslam,
so they both have major wrestling stories going on right now
John Cena is now officially confirmed to be facing Roman Reigns at Summerslam, so these
next few weeks will be crucial for their story, so that’ll be fun to see unfold as well
