WWE has reacted to the pandemic in a number of ways, first by shunting all of its episodes of television to the WWE Performance Center since mid-March (including WrestleMania 36). Then in mid-April the company announced a series of cost-cutting measures to compensate for money lost during the pandemic, and as a result more than 30 active wrestlers were released while dozens of additional employees were furloughed.
“Our first quarter financial performance was strong and largely unimpacted by the COVID-19 outbreak,” Vince McMahon wrote in WWE’s quarterly financial report in late April. “Now we are in the midst of unprecedented times, which require us to be especially nimble, creative and efficient in order to ensure the ling-term value of WWE. We are taking precautions to protect the health and safety of our performers and staff as we produce content in new ways, engage fans with a much-needed diversion and operate effectively in this evolving environment.”
