The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the entire world and that includes professional wrestling. WWE’s live event department saw many being let go during the recent mass exodus. Vince McMahon is not certain whether there will be any more live events even in the future.
During WWE’s 1st quarter 2020 financial call, Vince McMahon discussed the WWE will do following the COVID-19 outbreak. He said that the company might not be doing events like they used to.
He stated that “there is a different learned behavior in terms of the consumer. If anyone can figure it out we will.” McMahon is being realistic and does not expect live events to play a big role in the future. He added that there will be more content-oriented events and not live events. “It is a creative environment is the way I look at it.”
Regarding the future of the company with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, he said: “I don’t want to comment on the future of the country, but I just know we’re going to do well.”
