It\u2019s that time of year when we are approaching WWE Survivor Series. This PLE used to be one of the largest that WWE had to offer, but over the past few years, it has seemed to become an afterthought.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The anticipation among the fans for Survivor Series<\/a> now is not the same as it was ten years ago. What is it that changed? The PLE still takes place every year. Why is it then that fans are less excited? Is this something that can be fixed?<\/span><\/p>\n

2020: The Year of No Fans<\/strong><\/h2>\n

2020 hit the world like a storm as the Coronavirus spread worldwide. The world was put on hold, but the WWE didn\u2019t stop. The WWE never stops. The weekly shows would still take place, but there were no fans in the audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
