WWE recently moved all of their TV tapings to the Performance Center in Orlando, and several shows over the last few weeks, including WrestleMania 36, were pre-taped.
However, the company plans to go back to live shows for Raw, SmackDown and NXT.
WWE issued the following statement to ESPN confirming the change:
“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.”
