Former WWE star Steph de Lander, also known as Persia Pirotta, recently revealed an interesting story about a special event held by WWE during the pandemic. In an interview with Vice Australia & New Zealand, de Lander shared that WWE organized a private show for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his children at the WWE Performance Center. This event took place when WWE was granted permission by DeSantis to continue running weekly events in Florida.
This revelation adds to the list of changes and adaptations WWE has made during the pandemic. As we all know, WWE had to shift its operations to an empty arena at the WWE Performance Center due to the Coronavirus pandemic. But this special event for Governor DeSantis and his family shows how WWE managed to find a way around the challenges posed by the pandemic.
While de Lander did not mention any other wrestlers on the card for this private show, the fact that WWE organized such an event for a state governor highlights the importance of their relationship with political figures. It’s no secret that WWE has always had a close connection with politicians, and this private show further solidifies that bond.
Although opinions may vary on the ethics and necessity of holding a private event during a pandemic, it is crucial to acknowledge the role Governor DeSantis played in allowing WWE to continue operating in Florida. Without his approval, WWE could have faced significant challenges during the pandemic. Therefore, from WWE’s perspective, it made sense to accommodate the governor’s request.
As for de Lander, her revelation about the private show has sparked discussions among fans. Many are curious about her potential return to WWE. While she did not mention any plans to come back, her time in WWE as Persia Pirotta was memorable, and fans would undoubtedly welcome her back if the opportunity arises.
