Apparently WWE is keeping test results hidden from most of the roster in regards to how widespread the coronavirus situation is within the company. Also didn't bother to test everyone at the PC last week despite the positive test announcement.
Also seems WWE is now asking for talent to come in for tapings regardless if they feel uncomfortable working at the PC. Complete 180 of their earlier stance of nobody being required or urged to show up for work if they didn't feel comfortable. Quote:

I'm beginning to wonder if WWE won't end up with a lot of lawsuits after rona
It's shocking how mis-managed this is all coming out to be |

Ugh... first it's HIPAA, not HIPPA. Second, HIPAA doesn't apply to WWE.

Besides Vince, Triple H should also be taking a ton of flack since he pretty much has been the public voice of the company in regards to their mis-handling of the coronavirus.
He's the one who publicly downplayed the testing being done elsewhere because he claimed those tests were not as reliable as what WWE was doing (which was almost nothing) and boasted about the disinfectants WWE was using at the PC made it impossible for an outbreak to happen there. |

Apparently those performing and in the audience for tonight's Smackdown won't know the results of their recent tests until tomorrow.
Turns out only RAW talent have been given their results so far according to the Observer. You'd figure with SD being more important tonight, WWE would have gotten the results for the blue brand first but decided to do it ass backwards instead. Also supposedly WWE didn't like the results from the earlier testing done this week which is why they had another round of testing done on Thursday to see if the numbers would lower. That doesn't seem to be the case according to both PWI and the Observer. |

If the WWE are using the same crew since it's all in the Performance Center, it's possible that crew members could pass it on to people with connections to AEW. Crew member to Adam Cole to Britt Baker, for example. Regardless of what you want to say about AEW being careless/careful in all of this, they could end up infected by WWE's recklessness. WWE could end up resorting to putting on old footage of shows while AEW goes out of business because their top stars come down and they've got nothing to show in place.
Dark, weird times. |

Apparently the current plan within WWE regarding the new travel ban from several states for Florida is to just bypass it like the last time a ban was in place for a specific state.
Quote:
Also supposedly Kevin Dunn was the mastermind on the ban of face masks for WWE shows and WWE only relented on the issue due to the growing complaints from their current outbreak. Meltzer also reported that despite the new face mask requirements in Orange County, WWE got exempted from it due to it mainly targets public places and the PC is a private place. |

Renee Young has heat on her because she went and got tested outside of the WWE tests at the PC, and for being the first to go public with her positive diagnosis because it caused others to follow suit. Nobody in power (Vince, Triple H, Dunn, Carano) has called to check up on her either.
Meltzer reported that from a “source” but the way it was worded it seems almost certain that it came directly from Moxley. |

When I saw she went public I thought “Is this wise?” I dunno, the bullshit of WWE aside, it just seems like something I would probably not share with the whole world if I was working for that company.

Seems WWE still doesn't believe an outbreak is happening at the Performance Center since they are having RAW brand talent getting re-tested in hopes that the new numbers are actually lower or more in their favor.

Would be a shame if the number were HIGHER after the second round. Not really wishing the diagnosis upon folks, but it seems like the most likely scenario here.

Dr. Nick to WWE staff and talent: As it turns out, you guys didn't test positive for COVID-19. In fact, you tested positive for another virus that isn't life-threatening, called...uh...BOVID-19!

He's right ^
I also think if AEW had to shutdown for more than a few weeks they would go out of business |

If Florida keeps getting crazier I think WWE will try and move somewhere else (hello CT?) and AEW will try and head back to GA.
But I also think both companies SHOULD shut down for a bit, which I know 'sounds terrible' as a fan. Is it weird that I've watched wrestling since I was seven years old and if rona tanked the industry entirely I'd move on just fine bc I'd find some way to watch old ppvs I liked |

Unless WWE owns another building or has a wrestling studio in their HQ, they might be out of luck for moving out of their PC for regular tapings.
AEW does have QT Marshall's wrestling school but Tony Khan recently mentioned that's no longer an option because of the coronavirus situation in Georgia and issues the last time they ran there. Both really should just tape like a month's worth of shows and then just sit back and see if things improves after a month. Impact's been doing that strategy recently where they taped a month or so worth of shows in Nashville and then sat back afterwards on two occasions. |
