COVID-19 outbreak took place in NXT

The COVID-19 pandemic is far from over as it continues to affect the entire world. In the past few months, several WWE Superstars have tested positive for the virus. Now it seems there is an outbreak of the virus in NXT.

 


 

It was said that prior to the outbreak, the mask policies which were introduced became more lax. The total number of infected workers are not known. According to Jon Alba who confirmed with Sean Ross Sapp, several people have been infected and has caused a “decent effect on creative.”

It was also said that workers were tested positive for the coronavirus as recently as the past weekend. The belief is that a Performance Center coach spread the virus.

Multiple sources: there was a COVID-19 outbreak within #NXT recently. Working on the details, but sources indicate it may have had a decent effect on creative

I’m working on confirming more details, but @SeanRossSapp has verified what I heard, quite literally as I hit “tweet.” He indicates several PC classes were canceled, and the outbreak happened over the past couple of weeks.

Source indicates some have gotten relaxed with mask wearing, especially in spots where some people congregate and there was concern over that. Am told people were still testing positive as recently as this weekend, with the belief being a coach accidentally spread it

WWE’s handling of the COVID-19 situation has been criticized in the past and it seems they need to take further steps to ensure another outbreak does not happen.

We will keep you updated on this ongoing situation.
