The wrestling journalist also revealed how the former world champion got the virus, explaining that Chris Jericho got it from a friend who tested positive:

“Had no symptoms, and nobody in the family had any symptoms. But the friend tested positive so he went and checked and tested positive, and then tested again and tested positive.
