It seems that WWE can continue because they're an "essential business". Anyone care to guess why/how they're an essential business? Does essential business actually mean anything anymore?
They consider themselves essential because they are a major entertainment factor. Now, whether you consider entertainment essential is completely subjective. But, if you consider the fact that most professional sports leagues have gone on hiatus for the lockdown, and they are purely there for entertainment, not to mention the vast majority of media studios shutting down, well, Vince seems to be out on his own at this point. But all he can see is dollar signs, especially as I'd imagine there's been a rather large uptake on subscriptions for the WWE network, and the fact that his only competition right now are re-runs, so he's trying to take advantage and line his pockets. I just pray that those he's putting in danger have the balls to refuse to work in such dangerous conditions. And that Vince will pay any medical bills from his own pocket, not that that's particularly likely...
And no, when you are someone like Vince McMahon, 'essential business' doesn't really mean anything!

-- In the event that WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, FL is shut down due to the ongoing pandemic, Vince McMahon noted to investors that the company has a “B-Plan” on standby but did not want to give out any details. The Observer Newsletter reports that there are actually several backups plans in place including the television studio at WWE’s corporate offices in Stamford, CT with the plan being that they would devise the setting of the venue to look very similar to the Performance Center. The overall belief is that WWE’s venue in Orlando is safe because of Linda McMahon’s pledge to spend over $18 million as part of Donald Trump’s Super Pac and Governor Ron DeSantis’ loyalties to Trump.
-- If WWE is forced to move out of Florida for their weekly TV shows, the bigger problem won't be the venue itself but likely getting talent in and out of whatever state it is they end up holding their events in.
Basically rich people don't care about other people so long as they can keep on making money
Really surprised this idea hasn't been shot down already... but no surprise that it's Vinces decision.
