Carl De Marco knew hours before show-time and let them know. It's possible they were all just in this collective state of denial, but it's more likely that they didn't want to admit guilt until it became an actual news story, because that would have bounced back on them knowing that wrestling makes people crazy and/or that their Wellness policy wasn't up to scratch.
They also made up the Fragile X. WWE were awful around this whole thing. Yeah, it's a mess, but is it so hard for Vince to come out and say "Look, we're learning new stuff about this all the time. Benoit was a professional, but some of the news we've heard has challenged and disturbed us. We will not celebrate until we know for sure that we can have a clean conscience. We plan to do what we do best -- entertain -- so here is some first-run footage we have cataloged. Thank you to our wonderful fans for their patience."
You can take a step back while making it look unexpected without putting your fingers in your ears and hoping you don't get shit on you. And trying to blame the fictional condition of a little boy for the stresses that drove the man to do this, as opposed to the concussed cocktail he was.
