WWE Star Led To Vince McMahon Enforcing Masks At Tapings, Details
Added 2020-07-05 23:24:21 +0000 UTCWWE has implemented new measures to help fight COVID, but several changes were already underway.
Fightful has learned that WWE had made several moves over recent weeks, including splitting the Raw and Smackdown tapings as to have fewer people around at the shows. These moves alone helped ease the mind of some on the roster that raised concerns. That didn't quite settle things, though.
After a hiatus of a few weeks due to COVID-19 concerns,, a returning Raw star was said to have approached Vince McMahon shorty after his arrival at last week's Raw tapings. We've heard that the wrestler expressed his concerns about proper measures not being taken seriously enough, such as mask utilization and social distancing. This led to McMahon adding the rule that masks are mandatory and failure to comply will result in a fine.
When asked why McMahon hadn't already instituted the changes, another wrestler told Fightful that Vince McMahon is stowed away in an office during most of the taping days and doesn't typically see whether or not the practices are put in play. Occasionally Vince does appear at Gorilla Position, as well.

Had I known KO was coming back tonight, he'd have been my guess.

2020-07-06 04:41:24 +0000 UTCI'm guessing it's KO. At any rate good for them for taking Vince to task

2020-07-06 01:05:34 +0000 UTCOf course Vince isn't overseeing the tapings and thus had "no idea" that people were getting sick. Hell, given the fact that Renee got Covid, I'm beginning to wonder what that could mean for her commentary job when it ends up destroying her lungs.

2020-07-06 01:05:20 +0000 UTCYou're probably right. The other options would be The Big Show and Ric Flair.

2020-07-05 23:54:19 +0000 UTCIm putting money down on this as Seth Rollins. I’m glad Seth / whoever stood up and approached Vince on this. It’s a serious health pandemic. It is still a pandemic. Face masks for a start and absolutely essential
