It was recently reported that Vince McMahon has implemented a mask policy. This policy sees employees fined if they are not wearing a mask while working in the backstage area for WWE. It turns out that the person responsible for this mask policy is Kevin Owens.
Kevin reportedly expressed his concern to Vince that he did not feel comfortable at the tapings. This was because there were no masks being worn and people were too close to one another.
Here is what John Pollock of POST Wrestling wrote about what happened:
On the July 9th edition of Les anti-pods de la Lutte, Laprade reported that it was WWE performer Kevin Owens that raised concerns at the tapings on Friday, July 3rd that led to the policy.
Owens reportedly told Vince McMahon he was not comfortable over the lack of masks being worn and people being too close. Owens informed McMahon that he was going to go home. McMahon asked Owens what he wanted him to do with Owens said to have responded that McMahon was the only person the crew was going to listen to.
Laprade went on to describe that McMahon asked if instituting a policy with fines would work. Owens responded that he once swore on SmackDown, was fined, and never did it again – proving it to be a deterrent.
Owens saw that people began wearing masks and keeping their distance, and he chose to stay for the tapings, which included last week’s episode and the show airing tonight.
