One of NXT’s Top Stars Reportedly Tested Positive for COVID-19
Since this past summer, WWE has experienced several COVID-19 outbreaks within their NXT brand and at their Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
Fightful Select reported that one of the top stars from WWE’s NXT brand recently tested positive for COVID-19. It was reported that the identity of this talent is currently not known but the level of concern around them is not as heavy as was the case with NXT talents involved in previous COVID-19 outbreaks at the Performance Center.
This talent was stated to not hang around in large crowds very often, especially in NXT and their status will not be impacting WWE’s current plans for this Sunday’s NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2020 event.
