Kevin Nash would later defend the WWE. He said that the company had a lot of faults, but a lack of precaution was not one of them.

According to Fightful Select, Vince McMahon, through several messages about the subject, has stressed the importance of precautions from the risks of Covid-19. Despite his directive however, a particular incident invoving actions that were the opposite of what he asked, set the 75 year old off.

“There was a particular incident of a wrestler or staff member at amusement parks unmasked weeks back that set Vince McMahon off after he had made it clear he wanted wrestlers taking more precautions as a result of COVID-19 risks.”

The instructions are clear for everyone working for him, including the staffers too. Failure to follow orders has resulted in one losing their spot.

“There have also been instances of staffers having their responsibilities reduced after photos of them emerged out and about without masks.”
