Triple H Status For October 21 SmackDown Following Positive COVID-19 Test

WWE

WWE’S Chief Content Officer and Head of Creative Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque missed this week’s WWE Raw show after returning a positive COVID-19 test.

Per WWE protocol, Levesque was not present at the show, which was headed by WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg, with the company hoping he would be back in-person very soon.

Per PWInsider, Levesque remains in WWE’s COVID-19 protocol and thus will not be present at tonight’s WWE SmackDown taping either.

WWE sources told PWInsider that Levesque is ‘feeling fine’, and that he is going through the proper steps required of him before he returns to work in-person, with the expectation being that he will return to TV next week, but it all depends on his test results.

The report also states that, much like this past Monday’s Raw show, Levesque has been in constant communication with the creative team and producers in charge of tonight’s show to make sure everything meets his vision for the show.

It was not noted whether Road Dogg will also be leading tonight’s show or if that responsibility will fall on someone else.
