According to reports sent in from fans who were in attendance at Tuesday’s SmackDown Live taping, WWE cracked down on beach balls and other inflatable items that could be bounced around during the show.
The move comes after beach balls in the crowd caused disturbances at SummerSlam and RAW the following night.
WWE spoke with the Barclays Center security staff and informed them of the new policy. Despite WWE’s best efforts, there were still a few beach balls going around during SmackDown, but they were quickly confiscated.

Fans and even WWE personnel have been split on beach balls at live events, with some dismissing the issue and others arguing they are disrespectful to the performers in the ring.
Disrespect at its core. Not just to Finn, to all the talent.
