Report: WWE Not Testing For Coronavirus

It is being reported that despite testing for temperatures and monitoring people’s colds, WWE has not tested anyone specifically for coronavirus.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that WWE has not carried out any coronavirus tests, which is suprising considering pretty much every organisation that is currently running is doing.

Meltzer said:

“WWE hasn’t even tested anyone yet, which kinda suprises me just because everyone else is, you would think that they would, and they’re not at all. They’re temperature testing, they’re doing that, and if you’ve got the cold or something like that they tell you to stay home. But AEW is testing and everyone passed the test for the last set of tapings, and I’m sure that they’ll be testing people multiple times, because everyone’s gonna be in for a week starting, well not everyone, almost everyone will be in for a week starting Wednesday till the next Wednesday for that eight-day period.”

WWE is currently working on a taping schedule that sees the company tape in the early stages of the week on alternating weeks, meaning Raw pretty much alternates between live and pre-taped, while SmackDown is always pre-taped.
