WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon will be one of many sports commissioners who will be on a conference call with United States President Donald Trump today at noon.
The entry on the official White House schedule says, “The President participates in a phone call with Major League Commissioners.”
The belief is that this will be done to discuss the impact of the coronavirus on the sports world. WWE decided to go through with WrestleMania 36, a two-night event taking place this weekend, in front of no fans in attendance.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter released this list of commissioners who will be on the call:

NBA – Adam Silver
WNBA – Cathy Engelbert
MLB – Rob Manfred
NFL – Roger Goodell
NHL – Gary Bettman
PGA Tour – Jay Monahan
