New Delhi9(Agencies): WWE is one of
the only few companies to continue producing live shows even during the peak of
the novel coronavirus pandemic. The mayor of Orange County declared that WWE
was deemed an “essential business” in Florida, thus allowing the company to
resume live tapings of its shows in the state during the coronavirus outbreak.
There were no fans present during the matches as wrestlers had matches at the
performance center. Recently to make up for the lack of crown atmosphere, WWE
started putting developmental talents near the ringside to cheer on the
wrestlers.
However, now it has emerged that a development talent WWE’s
training facility has tested positive for Covid-19. WWE have confirmed the news
and stated that they are going to test all ‘performers and staff, all talent,
production crew and employees’ who were at the training facility for the virus
as a precautionary measure.
“A developmental
talent, who was last on site at WWE’s training facility on Tuesday, June 9, has
tested positive for COVID-19. Since that time, no other individuals that
attended the facility have reported symptoms. However, out of an abundance of
caution and to ensure the health and safety of the company’s performers and
staff, all talent, production crew and employees on site at the training and
production facilities will be tested for COVID-19 immediately. Following the test
results, WWE plans to proceed with its normal television production schedule.”
It has also been reported that WWE will continue to hold its
weekly shows according to schedule.
Roman Reigns has been missing from action as he decided to
stay back due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was reported that Roman is not
comfortable performing at the performance center due to his battle with
leukemia amid the coronavirus crisis. Roman confirmed that he decided to stay
back to care for his family.
“It’s all over the news,
the dirt sheets – whatever you want to call them, that I pulled out of
WrestleMania.
“And it’s funny
because like, for years now, man, years, people are like, ‘don’t show up to
WrestleMania. We don’t want you in it’. You know what I mean?
“There’s a nice
handful of dudes and haters that didn’t want me there, but the moment I make a
choice for me and my family, I’m a coward, I’m a sissy. A lot of different
things that I am now.
“But you don’t know
the whole story. All you know is what you think. ‘Oh, well his health and this
and that’, but you don’t know what else is going on in my life. You don’t know
if I have newborns.
“You don’t know if I
have family in my household, older family.
“So yeah, just the
old saying man – go ahead and flip that cover over and read a few pages, get
into a few chapters before you really start running your mouth. Take this time
to better yourself.”
