I think Ronda (and the rest) is working the fans.

The way WWE talent is reacting on Twitter is just adding to it.

Look for her to make a surprise reappearance at SummerSlam as an uber heel.
Yep, this whole thing is a work. She'll show up as a heel down the road.

Looks like Vince cut that check to the mayor :lol:

The WWE has been deemed an "essential business" in Florida, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said Monday, allowing the company to resume live television shows from its Orlando training facility and Full Sail University in Winter Park.

According to Demings, the WWE initially was not designated as essential and therefore not exempt from the state's shelter-in-place order, which took effect April 1 and runs through April 30. That decision was reversed after "some conversation" with Gov. Ron DeSantis' office, Demings said during a Monday news conference.

"I think initially there was a review that was done. They were not initially deemed an essential business," Demings said. "With some conversation with the governor's office regarding the governor's order, they were deemed an essential business. So therefore they were allowed to remain open."

Essential businesses that are supposed to remain open during the state's stay-at-home order include those in the health care, financial, energy, food, communications and transportation sectors. Demings did not elaborate on what put the WWE into that category.

Messages left by ESPN to DeSantis' office were not immediately returned.

Starting Monday with its Raw program, WWE will run live shows without fans after several weeks of taped programming, a spokesperson confirmed to ESPN on Saturday.

WWE has three TV shows per week: Raw (on USA Network), NXT (USA Network) on Wednesday and SmackDown (Fox) on Friday.

Interested in how this can play out politically.

Jerry Demings is the husband to Val Demings, a woman who has been floated as a possible VP pick for Joe Biden.

Linda McMahon is part of Trumps reelection team, so I'm sure there was money/favors exchanged to have WWE shows in FL continue, especially since FL Ron Desantis is Trump lackey.

They can run shows from the stadium or team facilities. That may be what they're doing now.
The apparently filmed enough to air content for a few weeks when they moved filming to Georgia a few weeks ago.

The Kahns have that pull though, Shad Kahn's father donated $1,000,000 to Chump's campaign.

That's what they were already doing. They taped enough content to last until next month.
My question is if they'll be allowed to go live like the WWE.

They were forced to work/travel to film matches for taped shows and just this last week for Live TV, and now some of them will probably get cut.

Feel bad for talent and behind the scenes employees. As far as the company and hire ups, fuck them.
