How FOX and USA Network Feel About Current Mixture Of Live and Taped Programming

While WWE has agreements in place to produce live weekly content for USA Network and FOX, the current health crisis has provided leeway on what’s expected.

When asked if there was any feedback from the networks on WWE not producing content agreed upon, McMahon revealed the company has a good relationship with FOX and USA, and they have each other’s backs.

He also noted that that both networks are currently not doing as well as they would like.

Strict Health Guidelines And Talent Morale Backstage

Vince McMahon provided details on how WWE keeps their employees and talent safe while on the job.

He noted they check for fever, and have every person who enters the building fill out a health questionnaire, asking for details on who they have come in contact with and any symptoms they may have.

The company uses a number of “pandemic cleaning” systems, including special spray from Allied Bio Science to clean surfaces at the WWE Performance Center, production trucks, and company owned warehouses.

According to the company website, the spray used provides a protective barrier on surfaces that can last up to 90 days.

Applied with electrostatic spray technology, coatings are transformed into super-fine, surface-seeking droplets creating a protective barrier that eliminates places where microbes can hide and keeps surfaces continuously protected for up to 90 days.

Vince confirmed reports that the company is changing turnbuckles, ring ropes, and canvases in between matches, and bringing in talent in waves.
