Following Raw, news broke that a developmental talent had tested positive for the Coronavirus. It was later reported that this person is a member of the NXT roster who recently wrestled on TV.
It was revealed that this person was last at the WWE Performance Center on June 9, so WWE tested everyone who was at the Performance Center that day for the virus. The tests were conducted yesterday.
The TV taping that was scheduled for the Performance Center yesterday had to be postponed while WWE tested everyone and got their results back. WWE is hoping to resume the tapings today.
PWInsider is reporting that WWE is hoping to commence tapings at the Performance Center at 11am EST (4pm BST). They will then film NXT at Full Sail later tonight.
“WWE is scheduled for a long, long day of television tapings today. PWInsider.com is told that no one will be allowed entrance to the venues unless their COVID-19 tests have come back negative. There are a number of talents staffers and even high-level executives who are on “standby” waiting for their results to still come in nearby the PC, we are told.
If all goes according to plan, WWE will be taping the following content today at the WWE Performance Center starting at 11 AM:
-Next Monday’s Raw
-Next Monday’s Raw talk
-Next weekend’s WWE Main Event.
-Next Friday’s Smackdown
-This and next Friday’s episodes of 205 Live
WWE will then tape the following at Full Sail Live this evening:
-Tonight’s WWE NXT, which we are told may broadcast live on the USA Network.
-Next week’s WWE NXT.
This may actually end up breaking the record as the longest WWE TV taping day ever, under any circumstances, in company history.
After today, WWE is next slated to tape from 6/29-7/1. They will then tape 7/13-7/15 and then broadcast Extreme Rules live from the PC on 7/19.”
The report goes on to note that once everything is done, a record may be broken for the longest taping day in WWE history.
