Will WWE start doing live shows after being deemed as an ‘essential service’ by Florida?

Amid the chaos and uncertainty surrounding the fate of major sports leagues around the world, WWE took a stand and decided to deliver WrestleMania 36 and weekly episodes of WWE RAW, WWE NXT, and WWE SmackDown. Despite this, a number of fans and WWE superstars were not happy with WWE’s decision to keep the cameras rolling amid the coronavirus outbreak. Many have even asked WWE to stop the shows claiming that they are putting everyone involved at risk.

Recently, the State of Florida, came to WWE’s aid as WWE was an ‘essential’ business. The order issued by the State of Florida could come as a major relief for WWE amid WWE's loss in viewership. The memorandum issued by the State of Florida said that the various teams that will be required to run WWE shoes, which includes athletes, the media team and the production team will be allowed to continue to work in the production of the show only if the location is closed to the general public.
