WWE Source Denies Staff Are Being FORCED To Work
Following the earlier claims of 'John', WWE has reiterated how employees are free to stay home.
With WWE continuing to power forward with providing new weekly in-ring content, earlier today saw reports that an unnamed WWE employee had approached the Florida Board of County Commissioners with their concerns about the current working environment of WWE. And now, we have a response of sorts to these claims from a WWE source.
In case you missed it, an anonymous WWE employee – not to be confused with SmackDown’s anonymous hacker, obvs – going by the name of ‘John’ claimed that WWE personnel are being “forced to work” and how social distancing measures are impossible to adhere to during the taping of WWE’s weekly shows.
The ever-reliable WrestleVotes has reportedly reached out to a trusted WWE source who has shot down John’s claims and emphasised that no WWE staff are being outright forced to work right now.
Whether you think WWE should even be producing weekly in-ring television right now, to be fair to the company WWE has repeatedly stressed how any staff and talent who feel uncomfortable working at this crazy time are absolutely fine to stay at home. Likewise, AEW has said the same to their employees.
