Ross states: "After speaking with company officials, TV executives and local politicians, the decision was made Wednesday afternoon to do SmackDown! live Thursday night. Talent and crew were given the option of not working if they chose not to. No one exercised that option, even though many probably had reservations about performing their functions. Yes, we went back to work Thursday night and it was the right thing to do. Stay strong and spend time with your family and friends. Let us help one another to heal and to resume our lives as they were meant to be. Say a prayer for the families of those so adversely affected, and count your blessings."
