• WWE On FOX Account Reacts To Reports Of WWE Employee Coming In Contact With Coronavirus
Brad Shepard posted the following report last night:
“According to a source, a WWE employee – who doesn’t work at the main office – came in contact with a coronavirus carrier.
I’m told a mass email warning was sent out, and the employee is under self-quarantine. They aren’t showing symptoms yet but it’s shaken everyone up.”
The “WWE On FOX” Facebook page saw the reports and wanted to shut down the rumors as it’s a serious issue, especially ahead of WWE’s biggest event of the year – WrestleMania 36 – where thousands of fans will show up to attend the PPV.
Below is what WWE on FOX posted:
“Guys, we usually don’t interject, but when it comes to serious stuff we will. Ringsidenews, especially Brad Shepard, isn’t a trusted ‘news source’ about anything.
Please do not listen to them. Do as you will with other journalists, we won’t promote anyone here, but avoid Ringsidenews – especially when it comes to something as serious as this.”
