Bill Apter claimed that the WWE Universe should prioritize health over everything else

During the same conversation, Bill Apter stated that the health of the superstars, fans, backstage personnel, and the WWE crew should be the top priority at this stage.

Apter continued by mentioning that the WWE Universe might be disappointed if some of these scheduled matches don't go according to plan. However, Apter urged the fans to understand the situation, if that indeed turns out to be the case.

"But the bottom line is, at least to me and I think all the fans out there, is the health of the talent and the people backstage and the whole crew. More important than anything about this, they always say, you’ve got a million dollars. Do whatever you want as long as you have your health... But really, think about the talent, them and their families that are going through this thing, not just about the company," said Apter. (H/T- SK Wrestling Top Story)
