"WWE is, as of this morning, slated to move forward with taping TV today for tonight's Smackdown and this Monday's episode of Raw. They will also tape tomorrow at the WWE Performance Center.

The tapings are taking place despite the company continuing to receive positive COVID-19 test results. We are told the number has risen since yesterday and there is concern about everyone at every level of the company who was at the PC.

One conversation among WWE wrestlers over the last few days is disbelief towards those in the locker room who have been out socially at bars and gatherings and posting on social media in the wake of everything that has gone on since the company began informing them of COVID-19 positives."

MLW talent Tyreke, who was brought in as a random extra for a taping, was told by WWE he tested positive for COVID

They told him nothing else, random people are sending him links in the comments for how he should properly self-quarantine, and he's currently @ing HHH begging for him to talk
https://twitter.com/TheRealTTR15/status/1276498297247719424

I would assume he signed a waiver and is therefore hosed.

I can't be alone in finding the tone of all these "Hey, we are just t rying to entertain you during these dark times" pompous, overly self aggrandizing, and reeking of weasel speak?

Not just the most recent one where they refuse to acknowledge that their own unsafe working practices directly lead to a growing number of COVID-19 infections and refer to Vince as 'Our Leader'. But all the way back to Florida going, "Hey yeah, everyone is getting sick, but look at the oiled up musclemen pretending to hit each other. That'll cheer you up. Pay no attention to the big bag of money they just gave me." And everything in between.

WWE is acting like they are the noble jesters, or the band on the titanic. Doing everything they are doing just for the fans, doing something honourable and virtuous. That we should thank them for actively putting people in unneccessary risk, that we should be grateful for the poo poo they throw at us.

The WWE is poopy.

Totally agree, but where else can I see someone having piss thrown in their face?? I mean aside from pornhub.

Like holy poo poo. That poo poo seems like lawsuit grounds. Exposing someone, testing them, sending them home, and then notifying them days later they've tested positive with no advice or information on how to handle it or get his family tested?

WWE should die.

There's absolutely no rational, responsible way you could justify not shutting down WWE entirely right now because absolutely everyone has to have been exposed and will continue to get exposed as test results come back slowly and asymptomatic or presymptomatic carriers spread it.

WWE won't, of course.

Oh, I have no assumption anyone will. WWE is such a joke that no one cares and if they did they'd buy them off and use their political connections. I just think that one scared and confused dude with the pregnant wife should be talking to doctors and then a lawyer.

It'll inevitably come out, but the rumors going around were the amount of people who tested positive was, at most, in the high-20s. Bryan and the Fightful guy both actively saying "whatever you've heard, it's worse" means it's more likely minimum 30 people infected

Per Fightful:

Talent haven't been informed of even an approximate number of tests, let alone positive results
Main roster talent are upset with the handling of the situation to say the least
Multiple NXT talent needed to be tested multiple times
There's unrest because certain talent have been to bars and gatherings this week despite everything
Despite last week's positive test, still some at the Performance Center weren't required to be tested before this week

NXT PC talent were sent a message yesterday morning after 9AM saying:
"Per Vince, ALL Talent are needed for TV on Friday & Saturday. Please go to PC by 10:30AM TODAY for drive-through COVID testing. if you took test yesterday, you don't need to today. If you are in high level storyline, you will be off camera. Thanks. **IMPORTANT: after test, you will need to remain ISOLATED AND QUARANTINED until after the TV tapings."
Many talent missed that deadline and were awaiting a new location as of 5PM yesterday
Those tested yesterday don't have results yet
