COVID-19 Outbreak in NXT, this week's show affected

[Chris]

There was an outbreak of COVID-19 resulting in a number of positive tests in NXT coming from the Performance Center.

Full details are unavailable past it does affect this Wednesday's NXT episode. Obviously no names are being disclosed nor has WWE addressed it publicly.

What is known is that on Thursday they were building and moving rings at the building next door to the Performance Center and it was said workers were not wearing masks. One report is that there were people who tested positive that both were and weren't there at the time.

Fightful reported earlier today that it came from something Thursday where proper precautions weren't followed.

The word broke yesterday that there was an outbreak and there were substantial numbers who tested positive. Both people testing positive, and others who had been around them, are in quarantine and would be at least through this week.
It is believed no Raw or SmackDown talent was effected by this outbreak.

Damn, I was about to report this as well on here.

Yeah, I can't fault Vince/Hunter on this one. It's on the talent if they want to be safe or not. They talent on NXT needs to learn to be safe and follow the guidelines. If not for themselves, then do it for the coworkers. What their decisions effects the training sessions, PC Students staff and the main show.

Will wait to see if any of the scheduled matches get pulled or those people don't show before taking this for granted.

This type of report went round not too long ago where it was supposed to affect all the brands on TV and was played up as some huge outbreak and story only for it to end up being Drew.
