#4. Hope isn't true: Formal complaints in WWE over failure to follow COVID protocols
WWE has received a lot of criticism in the last few months over the number of positive cases within the company. There have been several Superstars and other names who contracted the virus, but only a few publicly came out and admitted it.
According to WrestlingInc, many trainees from the WWE Performance Center have complained about daily COVID protocols not being followed:
"Wrestling Inc. learned that it is internally believed that several trainees from the Performance Center and / or NXT talent made formal complaints about daily operations and protocols not being followed. A few weeks ago a couple of people spoke up at an NXT taping about what they called "anti-maskers" not following guidelines outside of NXT and training classes, while potentially putting others at risk due to their actions."
We hope this isn't true because it would be surprising if WWE didn't learn from their COVID-19 issues and deal with it better. The UFC is a perfect example of how they've utilized a bubble and managed to keep most people safe despite ongoing work during the pandemic.
