WWE Postpones TV Tapings due to Positive COVID-19 Test

WWE paused its Tuesday tapings of Raw and SmackDown after a developmental talent tested positive for the coronavirus.

The infected wrestler was in the WWE Performance Center on June 9, WWE's Associate Medical Director Dr. Jeffrey Dugas said in a statement Monday night. The individual sat in the audience during a show taping and has not returned to the facility since.

"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," Dugas said.
