Florida Designates Pro Wrestling 'Essential Business'
Florida's statewide stay-at-home order no longer applies to pro wrestling. Governor Ron DeSantis made the change and WWE resumed its live television shows on Monday without fans in attendance.
World Wrestling Entertainment resumed its live televised shows Monday at its facility in Orlando without fans present. After weeks of airing taped pro wrestling matches, WWE received permission last week with a signed from Florida's Emergency Management Director. The order says "employees at a professional sports and media production with a national audience" are exempt from a stay-at-home order as long as "the location is closed to the general public."
