6 Important things WWE should have done differently in 2020

#2. Testing of talent

Renee Young tested positive for COVID-19

An uncomfortable topic, this unfortunate but recent development with cases in WWE is something that many people saw coming. When you look at the first sport that's returned since the pandemic, it was MMA, with UFC taking all sorts of measures to ensure that COVID-19 didn't spread.

While they had some hiccups, the testing got better along the way and their general approach has been carefully looked upon by other sports leagues waiting to make a return. In Football/Soccer, domestic leagues are taking various measures and doing multiple rounds of testing to players and staff to weed out the COVID-19 positive cases.

WWE didn't start testing until it was recently discovered that a developmental talent tested positive. Triple H had stated at first that the reason WWE didn't do any testing was that they weren't sure of the testing methods, but the WWE doctors were working closely with CDC and the government.

Renee Young is now the biggest name in WWE so far who has tested positive for COVID-19. She put out a tweet, saying:

Man. What a few days. My show gets cancelled and I get Covid. Wear your masks and wash your hands. Stay safe, everyone ❤️

Her husband Jon Moxley informed AEW that he had secondhand exposure and is expected to be in quarantine now:

Jon Moxley can get slammed on a car, crawl through tacks & fall through the stage, but it’s every bit as cool that he came forward & told us he’d had secondhand exposure to COVID. We test everyone here at #AEWDynamite, but Jon protected everyone onsite like the great champ he is

WWE was far too late in testing their staff and talent and the fallout of this is yet to be seen, but we don't expect it to be good.
