It appears that the report of pyro returning to WWE was indeed legitimate. Joe Staszewski of the New York Post took to Twitter to note that he spoke with Kevin Dunn for an article that will be published next week, and that Dunn confirmed that “will be new sets, openings, logos, graphics & theme music” for both shows. Staszewski says Dunn said that the pyro includes “flames and lasers.”
The news comes after the WrestleVotes Twitter account first reported the news on Monday.
