#2. Hope is true: Backstage reaction to Kayla Braxton announcing her COVID-19 positive result

Kayla Braxton tested positive for COVID-19

This will be the last COVID-19 bit from this week's edition. As you know, Kayla Braxton took to Twitter to reveal that she had coronavirus before and wasn't aware that you could contract COVID-19 more than once.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported that WWE praised Kayla Braxton backstage for being transparent about the situation. Sportskeeda's Shruti Sadbhav wrote:

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

Kayla Braxton was praised backstage for disclosing the details about her personal battle against the pandemic. The WWE presenter's transparency with respect to the entire issue went down very well with the WWE officials as she did what was right to ensure the safety of others.

While WWE has been encouraging talent to keep the positive cases under wraps, Fightful's report stated that Kayla Braxton personally chose to go out with her test result. We hope that the backstage reaction is true because there was some speculation earlier about how WWE wasn't happy about Renee Young or Kayla Braxton going public.
