From an interview with HHH on Sportscenter
“Well you know, in this time I think we believe, WWE, I think our talent, our staff, our crew -that probably now more than ever, entertainment for people is a necessity. And them having something that they can tune into, forget about everything that’s going on or what they have happening in their lives or not being able to leave their house, or whatever it is, and just tune out for a few hours, tune into something that’s just fantastical, and just forget about it all. And we feel not only the need to do that but sort of the obligation to do that for people.
Our fans are there for us year-round. They’ve been doing it for years, and we have a message in the WWE that is, we say what our jobs are everyday is to put smiles on people’s faces all over the globe, and we truly believe that. And in this time, maybe more than any other in my memory, people need those smiles right now more than anything. So you know, we choose to carry on and to try to be able to deliver those smiles.
We’ve taken as much safety precaution as we can. Certainly the health of our talent and of our staff is primary and the biggest focus for us. So with medical screening and everything that we’ve done - we’ve followed the CDC’s instructions and tried to be as careful as possible. As we’ve done matches throughout various shows, whether it’s Raw, SmackDown, NXT, we have sort of scheduled out talent so there aren’t so many of them there at a time - sort of shifted the schedule around. So we’ve done everything possible.
And having these on closed sets without fans in attendance? It’s not ideal. But we feel like it’s worth it for us - the effort is worth it for us, the stretch is worth it for us, to be able to put those smiles on people’s faces when they need it the most.”
