The mystery behind why Green Shirt Guy – AKA Superfan Smilez – has been front row at major WWE events for well over a decade is actually far less exciting than many would believe.
Instead of Green Shirt Guy being gifted free front row tickets for life, as has been speculated upon in the past, WWE President Nick Khan revealed on IMPAULSIVE that the superfan instead just pays to sit front row directly facing the hard cam.
"One of the sister companies of WWE and UFC is On Location. He pays for his seats. He pays a premium for those seats through On Location, and that's why he gets to be in the front row," Khan said, before denying that Green Shirt Guy secured front-row seats after being struck at a WWE event years ago and WWE wanted to avoid a lawsuit.
How much Green Shirt Guy pays for his WWE tickets will have increased dramatically since the completion of the WWE-UFC merger under TKO Group Holdings in September 2023. The average WWE ticket price has doubled in the past couple of years, while the second-row On Location packages for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas begin at $37,500.
