In a report coming from Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer discussed the number of COVID-19 diagnosis cases in WWE. This past June, there were backstage reports of positive COVID-19 cases in WWE numbering in the “double digits.” There were 38 people in WWE who tested positive for the coronavirus.
Meltzer noted that when WWE broadcaster Kayla Braxton originally tested positive for COVID-19, WWE notified everyone backstage that she had a positive test. However, an outbreak of the coronavirus came about amongst all WWE employees, with Braxton also testing positive for a second time in June. It was around this time that Renee Young, Jaime Noble and Adam Pearce also tested positive for the coronavirus.
Bryan Alvarez added that in WWE’s original memo regarding Kayla Braxton was that she contracted the virus outside of WWE and did not get exposed to it at the WWE Performance Center. However, Alvarez claimed that when someone at the Performance Center started exposing others there to the coronavirus, WWE did nothing about it and neglected the matter altogether.
