Last week, The Tampa Bay Times were told by WWE officials that the organization would be monitoring the virus. Stephanie McMahon commented on the situation by making this statement:
“The health and safety of not only our fan base, but also our superstars, really does come first.”
WWE’s Executive Vice President Of Special Events John Saboor told the Times that he is positive that nothing will change and the show will go on.
“There are active and ongoing discussions at play internally, like there are in any sector of American business, and certainly families as a whole, I think those will continue.”
