WWE’s venues are under investigation from the Orange County Board of Health. They will sook see strike teams arrive to make sure that they are not hotspots for COVID-19. There is a belief within the company that NXT Superstars blew the whistle on them.

According to Wrestling Inc, there is an internal belief that “several trainees” from their developmental program have “made formal complaints about daily operations and protocols not being followed.” It was previously reported by Jon Alba that face masks were not being worn prior to the second known outbreak in the company.

Wrestling Inc also noted that “WWE can’t control how talent live their lives outside of WWE.” That being said, if another COVID-19 outbreak happens in NXT then it could freeze fans from coming back.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
