WWE Achieves Record High CWC Attendance for NXT TakeOver: In Your House
WWE has promoted NXT TakeOver: In your House to the moon and fans are excited to see yet another PPV display of the rising stars in the company. With a stacked match card involving some established names as well as new talents, the event really hit the home run in many aspects.
On the show itself, the WWE commentary team confirmed that the crowd attending the event was the most the Capitol Wrestling Center has ever hosted. This comes as a welcome change compared to the usually empty stands due to the pandemic.

It was also reported that WWE has lifted nearly all COVID-19 protocols to allow fans into the building. However, those that have tested positive in the last 14 days, or have come in contact with those that have, were asked to stay at home. COVID-19 testing is no longer necessary to enter the premises. Furthermore, social distancing and mask protocols were also lifted, given the positive trend in the infection rate in the area.

WWE did not allow fans to park near the Capitol Wrestling Center
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer noted earlier that WWE will not allow fans to park outside the CWC or in its area. This is because it was not built for such a capacity or for hosting heavy events. Hence, fans were reportedly asked to park vehicles at Full Sail University.

“They will not allow anyone to park there. They told everyone to go to Full Sail and then they will take them by bus to the Performance Center. I just found out this morning that they have told everyone if they want to go to TakeOver to go to Full Sail and then we’ll take you by bus to the Performance Center,” Meltzer noted.
