WWE held a production test Thursday, offering a sneak peek of WWE ThunderDome at the Amway Center in Orlando.
The test was performed to ensure the debut WWE ThunderDome for SmackDown will run smoothly.
Fans were sent emails inviting them to join at different times throughout the night, but it appears only one session was done.
WWE began the test roughly an hour late, then several matches occurred, with virtual fans projected on led boards throughout the arena.
The following matches took place
- Jake Atlas defeated Tehuti Miles
- Kayden Carter and Kacy Catanzaro defeated Indi Hartwell and Jessi Kamea
- Mansoor defeated Ridge Holland
The matches featured main roster star entrances and theme music, and the final match between Mansoor and Ridge Holland featured commentary from WWE production assistants.
