WWE Champion Drew McIntyre shockingly tested positive for COVID-19 last week, due to which he has been under self-quarantine till now.
Drew McIntyre spoke on The Arash Markazi Show, where he opened about testing positive for COVID-19. McIntyre revealed that after he contracted the virus, he initially thought that he was glad that WWE tests their Superstars often.
McIntyre then said that he got the virus even though he took the utmost care of himself and followed all the safety precautions.
“I mean, my first thoughts were honestly, you know, this is why we do the test. You know, throughout the whole pandemic from the beginning, we’ve never stopped running right up until now. WWE has been testing everybody, before you even allowed to enter the building, and I’m so glad that they caught and I never knew I had—I’ve been following the strict safety guidelines. The general was wearing a mask and social distancing, but I’ve taken it to another level where my wife and I don’t leave the house essentially, aside to go to work, and I still managed to catch it.”
McIntyre then said that he was relieved he did not spread the virus to any other WWE Superstar and felt that he was lucky for not showing major symptoms.
“So, everyone out there, just keep wearing those masks, they’ll get you, so you got to really really try because it is out there—it’s about. So glad we caught it before I was able to pass it to my fellow roster members who might have passed it to somebody in the high-risk category. So I’m just very, very happy that WWE has been testing as much as they have. And I’m very fortunate to be asymptomatic.”
McIntyre will be appearing on next week’s Monday Night RAW in a segment with Goldberg, ahead of their Royal Rumble title match.
