Fan Tests Positive For COVID-19 After Attending NXT Posted By: Joe West on Dec 18, 2020
It is being reported by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that a WWE NXT fan has tested positive for COVID-19 about a week after attending the taping before Thanksgiving.
The fan, who tested positive on December 1st and thus wasn t allowed into the taping on the following day, says they only went out to attend two things: NXT and a theme park.
Obviously, the theme park could have been the catalyst for testing positive for COVID-19, but it raises the worry that if this fan had it before attending the show, others may have been infected by it due to their attendance.
WWE will soon start building toward the 2021 Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
We know the Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble matches will take place, and we also know Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan for the WWE Universal Championship is being worked toward.
In addition, Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting The Hurt Business’ Bobby Lashley will be defending his United States Championship against Riddle.
Riddle and Lashley have been feuding recently on Monday s WWE Raw. Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
