Time for some positive PR.

WWE deliberately hired local in the Orange County community. Some working for the hired-in production company wouldn't have received a pay check at all had the promotion not required their graft, and sources said it's no exaggeration to state that WWE paid their rent for April. They also said that everyone was seriously great to work with.

The production crew managed to knock together a set that WWE loved within five short days, and it didn't go unappreciated. Triple H, Hayes, 'Taker, AJ and everyone else representing the wrestling juggernaut treated workers like equals and wanted to make sure that the shoot went off without a hitch.

It was a wholly positive experience for everyone involved. During a time of great struggle for many, especially those working in the entertainment industry, WWE stepped up for the local community in Florida and made sure that some made bank.
