During a meeting of the Orange County Board of County Commissioners today, someone claiming to be an anomymous WWE employee submitted a public comment that he and others are being "forced to work" WWE's Performance Center TV tapings, claiming they are forced to touch others while working and feels that if he speaks up to his superiors, he will be fired.
Jon Alba of Spectrum Sports 360 tweeted the following video from the meeting, showing the statement being read into public record:
At Tuesday's Orange County Board of County Commissioners meeting, a #WWE employee named "John" submitted public comment they're being "forced to work" TV tapings despite stay at home orders. Says he's unable to speak out and feels he will be fired if he approaches his higher-ups. pic.twitter.com/UJTvX1RGc7

"John" says despite sanitary precautions, they can't maintain social distancing at #WWE tapings, and they have to touch their others. They've requested the government shut down the tapings so everyone can follow social distancing rules without fear of losing their jobs.

As we covered last week, #WWE had initially been ruled a non-essential business in Orange County, and the Orange County Sheriff had been called several times to the Performance Center. Then, an April 9 Executive Order by Gov. DeSantis included it as an essential business.

WWE has not, as of this writing, responded to the claim.
Thanks to Rodney.
