The reports of 30+ positive cases of COVID-19 have caused a lot of concern in WWE and while Renee Young and Kayla Braxton confirmed their result on Twitter, other WWE Superstars and staff have reportedly been instructed to keep it all under wraps.

There was speculation from Dave Meltzer about the possible positive cases among talent. He first mentioned The Street Profits, saying that if one of them tested positive, then it would make sense to have neither on TV. No mention was made of Austin Theory when Seth Rollins and [Buddy] Murphy were on RAW.

With regards to Kevin Owens, he pulled out of the tapings to be with his family after his wife's grandfather passed away due to COVID-19 complications, making it hard for him. As for Natalya, he said that she didn't test positive but she didn't attend the tapings because her husband and WWE backstage producer T.J Wilson was sick.

However, he specified three names in a way that implied that they may have tested positive:

Morgan, Rose, Deville and Lana were all on a boat trip together days before the testing. Lana was the only one on television.

We hope this isn't true, but Dave Meltzer confirmed that there was an active talent that tested positive. We hope that they weren't the ones.
