WWE has hired a team dedicated to flying drones every week
for their weekly television show, with their work starting
tonight on Raw.

WWE Line Producer Brian Fades told the Sports Business
Journal that the drones will be showing viewers never-
before-seen shots of WWE talent both inside and outside the
arenas moving forward.

“That’s one thing we’re really going to try to lean into
[today],” said Fades. “Getting these drones to be used in
intimate ways and really take the viewer who’s at home,
trying to get them to feel here like everyone else.”

Apart from drones, WWE also rehearsed using a point-to-point
sky cam system and a techno crane for more intimate in-ring
shots.

WWE and Netflix used 1,200 drones during the weekend for the
show they gave over the Los Angeles sky and 200 of those
drones were also equipped with pyro.

Tonight’s Raw will also have a helping hand from the
Goodyear Blimp which will give aerial views of the Intuit
Dome.
