A WWE employee who is believed to be an on-screen talent but not a wrestler and their roommate tested positive for COVID-19 following WWE’s WrestleMania and TV tapings. They supposedly had exposure with two health care professionals, and it’s beloved this is where they caught COVID-19. The employee’s identity has not been confirmed, but it is likely to be an announcer, referee, or interviewer, who following being in quarantine, is feeling much better.
Despite this worrying news, they say they did not have any contact with other WWE employees after diagnosis, so WWE is continuing to produce content from the Performance Center, including a live episode of Raw this upcoming Monday. WWE’s contracts with NBC Universal and Fox require the majority of shows to be live, seemingly even during a pandemic. The exact number of required live shows is not publically available, but 49 per year has been mentioned for Raw.
