As we reported earlier today here on eWn, several WWE talents have tested positive for COVID-19. The talent includes in-ring Superstars, production staff, and others.
WWE began emailing talents and staff on Monday and advised them that there had been a new COVID-19 positive test result. They encouraged their talent to continue getting tested for COVID-19. The talents were not all contacted at the same time. Following the original email, multiple positive tests have come out following a new round of tests.
According to Pwinsider.com, one source believes the number of positive tests is in the “two dozen range”. Those numbers are not confirmed as of this writing but we know that numerous WWE employees have tested positive this week.
As far as the TV tapings on Friday and Saturday are concerned, they are said to be up in the air at this point. Anyone working the tapings, if they go through with them, will be required to take a nose swab. Also, Friday’s SmackDown will likely need to be re-written. WWE will also not be allowing anymore “friends and family” at their TV tapings.
Stay tuned for more on this developing story …..
