It seems like even though the Thunderdome is gone, aspects of it are still being used by the WWE. Even before raw kicked off tonight chants of Cm Punk were being echoed in the Allstate arena in Chicago.
At one point during Drew McIntyre’s entrance, crowd noise was heard that did not match with the live crowd was doing, and then while commentator Jimmy Smith was heard talking with an undertone of Michael Cole being heard saying “the sixteen-time champ.
It is also being reported that fans were also heard chanting ‘ we want Wyatt’ during the opening segment between Bobby Lashley and Goldberg as well.
UPDATE: It is being reported that the Michael Cole audio is from a SummerSlam commercial and not meant to be piped in noise basically, it was a production mix up
Here’s the audio of the crowd sweetening of Drew’s entrance which includes Michael Cole bellowing “16-time champion!” and some cinematic music.#WWERAW pic.twitter.com/GFsYM1CNPI
