• More Information On How A WWE Employee Contracted The Coronavirus
WWE revealed last month that one of their employees was tested positive for Coronavirus (who has now recovered).
It was being reported that the employee was a part of the broadcast team.
Bryan Alvarez provided more information on Wrestling Observer Live about how the employee caught the Coronavirus:
“There was one WWE performer who contracted coronavirus. The impression I was given is that it had nothing to do with WWE whether WWE was taping or whatever. It was something that happened outside of WWE.
This person was somewhere away from WWE when they got it. They never showed up to WWE television when they found out they got it. That’s like the one that we know of so this taping and going live, I’m not a fan of it, but I’m fair. Nothing has happened.”
