According to the report, WWE is also evolving on the health and safety measures being taken at the WWE Performance Center, including requiring everyone to wear masks, enforce good hygiene and hand-washing for the recommended amount of time, medical screenings before entering any closed set, matches being done in waves, only having essential personnel at the location, following social distancing when not performing, intense cleaning, and more.

WWE is said to be trying very hard to do the best they can in terms of mitigating risk and protecting their employees health and safety while also trying to keep business afloat.

They add that a rep for WWE confirmed the schedule changes and issued this statement:

“We believe it is now more important than ever to provide people with a diversion from these hard times. We are producing content on a closed set with only essential personnel in attendance following appropriate guidelines while taking additional precautions to ensure the health and wellness of our performers and staff. As a brand that has been woven into the fabric of society, WWE and its Superstars bring families together and deliver a sense of hope, determination and perseverance.”

Additionally, WrestleVotes reports that WWE Money in the Bank will not take place at the WWE Performance Center, with the location not known at this time.

“The Money In The Bank PPV will take place as scheduled on Sunday May 10. Source states it won’t take place at the PC however. Still working on location confirmation. Obviously no fans in attendance regardless of the location.”

ORIGINAL: PWInsider reports that WWE has once again changed up their TV taping schedule. The plan now is to have live episodes of RAW, NXT, and Smackdown next week, but then to shift to pre-taping episodes every other week. This is being done to cut down on how much talent and staff has to travel.

WWE has also reportedly taped content for the 5/10 WWE Money in the Bank PPV at WWE Headquarters in Stamford, CT earlier this week. The footage was reportedly shot on the roof of Titan Tower.
