Rumors quickly started going around that the employee was Corey Graves based on the idea that he wasn't seen on TV. The rumor was squashed by the Wrestling Observer who stated that Graves was not the on-screen personality who contracted the virus.
Graves returned to the commentary booth on the last episode of SmackDown and that's a good sign of the things to come.
Regarding the positive test that was reported in the company, WWE released the following statement to Pro Wrestling Sheet:
“A WWE employee has tested positive for COVID-19. We believe this matter is low risk to WWE talent and staff, as the individual and a roommate became symptomatic in the days following exposure to two people working in acute health care on the evening of March 26, after WWE’s TV production on a closed set was already complete. The employee had no contact with anyone from WWE since being exposed to those two individuals, is doing well, and made a complete recovery.”
