Last week’s event emanated live from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Fla., part of the complex that houses the Khan family’s Jacksonville Jaguar’s NFL games, so it’s a “home base” for them that is readily available and customizable. The Khan family is also familiar with local government officials due to working with them regarding NFL matters, so there’s a familiarity with how to stay in step with local government requirements. AEW has been rotating essential workers such as production people in to do their work, then replacing them before TV starts with the on-air workers (wrestlers, announcers, referee, camera operators).
