ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday answered a question about why the World Wrestling Entertainment was deemed an ‘essential business" amid the spread of the coronavirus. “Obviously WWE, there is no crowd or anything, so it’s a very small amount of people.
We look at it on a case-by-case basis,“ DeSantis said. The WWE filmed a live episode of Monday Night Raw without an audience from its Performance Center in the Orlando area.
The company plans to keep filming live shows. Amid the spread of COVID-19, WWE has taped shows in Orange County and featured two nights of Wrestlemania on its online network.
