WWE forced to cancel tapings last week
As was reported last week, the WWE was forced to cancel the TV tapings for a day after a developmental talent tested positive. This obviously caused some panic with the other talent also being tested.
Those who received negative test results were allowed to be a part of the TV Production. As of now, there’s no news on which in-ring talents have tested positive for the virus. That’s obviously some very bad news as those performing in the ring are more vulnerable to regular physical contact.
