Makes the refusal to stop live shows seem even shittier.....

[Emperor Smeat]

Someone elsewhere speculated it might have been Corey Graves considering the timing of his return and the news of a positive test only popping up now.

Same for Carmella likely being the roommate considering those two are currently dating and her sudden return to Smackdown this week.

Edit: Nevermind, PWI had a report about the person who had the virus wasn't at this week's Smackdown tapings so it couldn't have been Graves nor anyone else who returned this week.

I hope Vince gets it. Selfish old prick.

[Droford]

It was probably the Revival.

Considering florida isnt near peaking,shit just got real

[xrodmuc316]

It said an employee was exposed following the Mania tapings when they went out to dinner with medical friends.

WWE always has been very clear NOT to refer to wrestlers as employees, so probably a cameraman/producer type person.

[teamXtremist]

Out to dinner? What fckn restaurant was open?

Sounds like it was on March 26th, and Florida was one of the slowest States to act. I don't think they went into stay at home until April 1st.

[Sepholio]

Yeah Florida was still open for business until the 1st or 2nd of April. A lot of people were voluntarily staying away from places before that, but everything was open.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yep. Their governor is definitely not a big brain.

[Sepholio]

Southern governors in general bro, it's not just him. They went on stay at home orders before Georgia, Alabama, SC and prob a few other southern states.

[Sepholio]

Remember how AEW went to Georgia to tape when Florida shut down lol

[DAMN iNATOR]

Well with as bad as Michigan has been as of late (3rd in the nation), can you blame me for not paying attention to much outside my state (obviously rhetorical but whatever)?

[Splaya]

Out to dinner? What fckn restaurant was open?

Fuck that. It's not even about that. What are you doing going out to eat with people who are working on the front lines of this unless you are directly related to them as immediate family? Like one of my best friends is a nurse and we haven't seen him since March 12. It's not that we don't want to see him but there's no way he doesn't have the virus from his job.

Sounds harsh, but if I were Vince I would fire this person for their stupidity

I thought it was The Miz?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I thought it was The Miz?

Miz was sick. Coughing or some shit. He got sent home and that pissed off The Usos because Roman Reigns (and probably other people out there in the world that they pass) have compromised immune systems.

Could be seen as a dick move by Miz, but with the bullshit machismo of this company, you can understand how someone would feel that calling in sick to Vince McMahon would be a bad idea.

[Emperor Smeat]

I thought it was The Miz?

Miz likely had just a regular cold or cold-like symptoms but before Mania tapings which is why he was pulled from them.

WWE claims the person who got coronavirus contacted it while working at the Mania tapings.

[LibSuperstar]

It wasn't a wrestler but they have since recovered fully. As for Miz, remember he has a newborn.
