WWE and FOX took to Twitter to thank the fans that attended last night’s live episode of SmackDown on FOX.
Last night’s SmackDown at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas began the start of going back on the road for WWE after the COVID-19 pandemic had put a stop to touring last year.
Michael Cole announced at the opening of last night’s show that it was sold out with 14,496 fans in attendance.
Triple H and Stephanie also took to Twitter to post their interaction with fans prior to last night’s show.
You can watch the video above Vince McMahon welcoming back fans at the start of last night’s show.
