WWE needs to do more matches like this for the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic.The dialogue between the fans and performers is indispensable in a professional wrestling event. This is not a dramatic play, where the audience sits quietly and holds its applause for the final bow. In professional wrestling, fans
