Backstage Insight Into What WWE Is Doing To Keep Wrestlers Safe At The Performance Center

On the latest episode of his podcast, Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler spoke about his experience at RAW this week. Lawler was one of the commentators for the empty arena show at the WWE Performance Center.

Lawler ended up giving an interesting perspective about what it is like being backstage at WWE shows right now. He also provided some insight into what WWE is doing to try and keep their employees safe during the coronavirus pandemic.

Here is what Lawler said (h/t to WrestlingNews.co for the quotes below):

“They had everything closed down. There were security guards that met you there out in the parking lot. They came up in an Uber in the parking lot and they escorted me up to the front door. I didn’t get there until probably about 2:30 or something in the afternoon. Of course, everybody had already been there before me and so anyway, they stuck a thing in your ear to take your temperature and mine was 98.6. I went inside and the whole place had been refurbished or whatever for that particular situation to where you would have wrestlers and all the camera crew people [for the show].”

They sort of had it where everyone was kind of kept apart away from each other. I never even went to catering. I just kind of hung out in talent relations and then of course, we went around and did some rehearsals…I talked to Mark, The Undertaker, and I talked to Steve Austin a lot and to Vince. I was sort of surprised that Vince was there but Vince was there. It was like a regular Monday Night Raw. They had people just go through the motions…”
