Wwe And New Japan Both Hit By Covid 19

WWE and New Japan’s locker rooms were both affected by COVID-19 recently. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported this week that multiple WWE Superstars have had to miss shows recently due to testing positive for the virus, though opted to not name names. While the company is no longer actively testing its locker room, wrestlers who test positive are immediately pulled from events and quarantined in order to prevent any more positive cases. Perhaps the most infamous case of COVID messing with WWE’s plans this year was back on New Year’s Day when Roman Reigns tested positive, scrapping his WWE Universal Championship match with Brock Lesnar. Lesnar wound up getting inserted into the WWE Championship match, causing a domino effect that would eventually see Reigns unify both world championships at WrestleMania 38.
