WWE Deemed Essential Business by Florida Governor's Office Amid COVID-19
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has allowed WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc) to continue filming at its Performance Center after determining the company to be an essential business.
Many wondered how DeSantis' stay-at-home order would impact WWE, which has moved all of its televised shows to Orlando, Florida, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings confirmed Monday the promotion received the green light from DeSantis.
"I think initially there was a review that was done and they were not initially deemed an essential business," Demings said, per Wrestling Inc's Marc Middleton. "With some conversation with the Governor's office regarding the Governor's [stay-at-home] order, they were deemed an essential business. Therefore they were allowed to remain open."
