WWE Survivor Series 2023: Big Changes Expected
There will be significant changes to the 2023 WWE Survivor Series.
In an effort to increase ticket sales, the previously scheduled set has been canceled, with Survivor Series expected to be a sellout. There are now 2,784 additional seats available for the event as a consequence of 4 more sections being opened, as reported by the social media account WrestleTix.
Haus of Wrestling has also been informed that the Titantron, a mainstay of WWE events, will not be there. In its place, there may be a smaller monitor over the entranceway or none at all. Haus of Wrestling was also informed by a WWE source that the November show will have a “very old school MSG style” due to the presence of a simple ramp. It is also mentioned that, should demand for tickets persist, the arena may undergo additional modifications to add more sections and increase its capacity.
Why Are Changes Being Made For WWE Survivor Series?
The word “demand” was used to explain the modifications when Haus of Wrestling questioned why they were being made. A record amount of tickets have been sold for the forthcoming Survivor Series, an event that has suffered a decline in interest in recent years. Many people believe that Money in the Bank is now a greater show than one of the company’s oldest events.
It’s also said that a number of rumors have contributed to the sale of extra tickets for the Chicago performance. Since it’s in front of his home fans, it was first reported that this would be the event where a CM Punk comeback would be most likely. But later rumors would emerge refuting any discussions of Punk’s comeback, thus fans would not go into the show with high expectations.
Not just one well-known figure has been suggested to return in November, but also the former AEW star. Rumors that Randy Orton would make his eagerly anticipated return at the big event have grown after he hasn’t played in more than a year.
