WWE has tapings planned for this weekend and the positive tests could heavily impact those tapings. We’ll have more on the story as it develops.
According to PW Torch, they are hearing wrestlers are getting frustrated with the lack of communication about this subject. Considering the number of WWE Wrestlers who are dealing with new babies, you’d think WWE would do better.
They're getting frustrated with the lack of communication on this life and death issue.

However, Meltzer goes on to comment about not being surprised.
I will tell you that nothing surprises me in WWE when it comes to stuff. I get Vince, his positives and his negatives, understand his mind whether I agree or disagree. Today is the first time I can't say that any longer. https://t.co/WkmbavNPh4

It’s hard to argue being exposed to the virus and not being able to know if you need to quarantine is a legitimate concern. Regardless of the bottom line, people’s family and health should always come first.
