World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has been deemed an “essential business” in Florida, allowing the company to resume live television shows amid the CCP (The Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
At a press conference April 13, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings (D) told reporters that WWE had initially not been deemed “essential” when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) issued a statewide Safer At Home Order at the start of the month to slow the spread of the COVID-19 disease. The order deemed businesses such as health care, financial, energy, food, communications, and transportation to be essential.
