The latest update on WWE Superstar Spectacle.

It was previously reported that WWE is considering bringing in main roster Superstars for the taping including AJ Styles, Charlotte Flair, The New Day, and Rey Mysterio. Another name that was mentioned to be considered for the tapings is WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. However, due to his recent COVID-19 diagnosis, It is believed that he will miss these tapings.
