After McIntyre retained the WWE Championship against Keith Lee last week, Goldberg confronted McIntyre and challenged him to a title match at the Royal Rumble. The episode ended with Goldberg shoving McIntyre down to the ground. The Royal Rumble is taking place on Sunday, January 31. This is the first time that WWE has publicly announced that a member of their roster has tested positive for COVID-19.
