WWE Superstar Apollo Crews was set to defend the United States Championship at Extreme Rules: Horror Show against MVP. However, it was announced that Crews wasn't medically cleared to compete as a result of Lashley's brutal attack a few weeks back.

Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio, that the current (or former?) US Champion Apollo Crews has tested positive for COVID-19.

"So Apollo Crews was COVID. People have been suspecting it, and it was."

Dave Meltzer further added that he doesn't know when WWE got to know that Apollo Crews will not be able to compete at the PPV.

"I don't know when they learned that he wasn't able to do the match, but you know, when you look back, it's been several weeks since he's been on television, so there you go."

After Apollo Crews was unable to compete at Extreme Rules, MVP declared himself the new US Champion and has been walking around with the newly minted Unites States belt around his waist on Monday Night RAW.
