WWE has been presenting programming with no live audience due to the current coronavirus outbreak.
The company has been limiting the number of matches shown on a broadcast due to the lack of presentation without fans present.
WWE Fan Council sent a survey to members gauging how much interest they would have if they presented video reactions while matches were taking place.
These reactions would be from fans, celebrities, WWE legends, and sports figures.

Survey recipients were shown a video of fans reacting to the latest edition of Monday Night RAW. WWE employees were also present in the filming of these reactions.
This particular example gave you the ability other commentators and see video of fan reactions. Compared to watched a WWE show presented without a live audience, what did you think about the way that fan reaction was shown in this video example.
The company gauged whether fans would be interested in seeing a mix of reactions throughout the episode, or just key moments during the match.
- How often should fan reactions be shown during a show?
- Once or twice during matches or key segments during the show
- For about half the matches of key segments during the show
- For most of the matches or key segments during the show
- For all matches and key segments during the show
- None of these choices
The survey also asked whether you would prefer seeing reactions with or without commentary from the WWE announce team.
- Which of the presentation formats do you prefer most?
- Being able to hear commentators and see video (but no audio) of fan reactions
- Being able to see video and audio of fan reactions without commentators
- Being able to hear commentators and see video and audio of fan reactions
- I do not like any of these options.
- The company also offered choices of who they would like to see react to matches
These choices included fans, celebrities, sports figures, and WWE Superstars and Legends.
