WWE is suspected to be dealing with a widespread Covid outbreak amongst its talent. At a recent house show at MSG there was several significant last minute changes to the card because superstars were unavailable.
An article on Thesportster.com from Dec 27th said “Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, and WWE Champion Big E all missed the show, and while the reason for the absences has not been officially confirmed, Rollins did seemingly confirm that he has COVID in a recent tweet.”
So what is WWE’s insightful solution to Covid running wild through WWE like Hulkamania did in the 80's? They could impose vaccination requirements, they could only stage singles matches to limit exposure. If you think that kind of pro talent health solution was on the table, oh my readers, bless your sweet naive little progressive hearts. WWE pulled a classic from the Trump playbook, too many cases: just stop testing. If you don’t test you can’t find cases. If you don’t find cases, no one has to quarantine. Ignorance is bliss as they say, and no we don’t mean Alexa Bliss in this context.
WWE has revised their policies which formerly required testing once a week for wrestlers on the road and twice a week for those at the performance center.
