After a recent cancellation of a SmackDown taping due to a positive COVID test, more WWE superstars and staff have now tested positive for COVID-19.
Various WWE superstars and staff members have tested positive for COVID-19. When the World Health Organization officially declared the coronavirus a pandemic on March 11, the world seemingly shutdown. Only recently has the NBA put a plan in place to resume their season, and shows like The Witcher have set a date to resume filming. However, throughout all this time, Vince McMahon’s WWE never pushed pause and continued production on shows, including their big event WrestleMania, from their Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
WWE’s desire to continue amidst the pandemic and when various other businesses were forced to shut down proved controversial, especially when the company released a host of stars, and talent like Roman Reigns opted out of WrestleMania because of the virus. Also, last month it came out that the WWE was only doing temperature checks and not official COVID-19 testing, whereas the owner of rival promotion AEW, Tony Khan, has confirmed they test people who work backstage and in the ring, at the beginning of every week they are doing a show. Last week, WWE had to cancel a SmackDown taping due to a positive COVID test, and now, it seems WWE’s risky tactics are continuing to catch up with them.
