WWE is not giving their Superstars the COVID-19 vaccine. It is their own responsibilities to get the vaccine for the highly contagious virus. This led to some frustration backsage.

According to Fightful Select, a lot of WWE Superstars are very upset over this situation. It was also reported that some expected WWE to do this because they hold them to independent contractor status.

There is “a ton of frustration” among talent about “people near the top of WWE who actively speak against COVID.” Several names have also tested positive behind the scenes since Drew McIntyre’s positive test.

There are a few people backstage in WWE who are “COVID truthers.” This has also caused big issue in the NXT brand.

We have also previously reported that Nia Jax posted anti-vaxxer memes. She also stated that her immune system is more effective than any vaccine.

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.
