It's official, the WWE is entertainment AND "essential business" too!
At least it is in Florida after Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings deemed it just that yesterday thereby 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."
