Karl Anderson is scheduled to challenge Tama Tonga for the NEVER Openweight Title at NJPW Dominion this weekend.
During the latest episode of Talk n’ Shop, Anderson spoke about testing negative for COVID before his flight to Japan and then testing positive once he arrived. Check out what he had to say below:
“We’re in Tokyo, I’m free. I didn’t really explain this yet. Well I landed in — so guys, I tested negative for COVID the day before I flew which was rules, you’re supposed to do that. I get on a plane, I fly, I land in Tokyo and I tested positive. I go, ‘What!? How?’ Obviously, I have no temperature, my oxygen saturation was perfect, I didn’t have any symptoms. I missed the show in Tokyo, I missed the Budokan Tokyo show and I got shipped to a Japanese Government hotel for eight nights and you can’t leave your room. I had all these [grandiose] plans to land and — I would’ve came here and I would have [Anderson & Rocky Romero talked about the amount of food they would have eaten], and then when I saw Jay White got his number called, he went through and then this other guy got called, he went through. Chase Owens got his call, went through. I got tested before them and I went, ‘Impossible that it’s gonna come back positive, impossible’ because just yesterday or whatever it was, I was completely negative with the shove up my nose and the PCR, the doctors and everything. So that’s the weirdness with this sickness. Everyone stay safe. I felt great because I guess — who knows if I could have given it to someone or somebody gave it to me. I didn’t know. How did I get it?”
