Breaking News: WWE Champion Drew McIntyre tests positive for Covid-19

[Larry]

Damn bro you had it? Glad you recovered. I had a friend that was sick for MONTHS over it

Yeah, it was a pretty scary. I think the anxiety of the situation made it even worse.


My symptoms went from no appetite and an upset stomach to fevers, no taste or smell, weird body aches and crazy chest pain. Also some of the most uncomfortable sleep of my life. It was points where as I’d finally start to fall asleep, it became harder to breathe. Was really weird, but the worst of it lasted about a week.


I still feel like I have little lingering issues here and there. I get heartburn a lot which Is something I have never dealt with in the past, but other than that I’m okay.



my situation was pretty mild but it still wasn’t fun. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I’m lucky Im healthy and had a light battle, some people don’t make it out of this shyt

i honestly think they should consider just taking an offseason break. could reinvigorate everything imo. i don't know if they'd even be able to with tv contracts.

WWE has like 100 years of footage they own that they can air at any moment and they insist on going live with new content every week

Just show us Wrestlemanias and classic RAW/Smackdown for 2 months dammit

I think contractually they have to provide new content.

Yeah I read if they don't provide a certain amount of live content the network can change some things in the contract.

According to Sean Ross Sapp he's gotten messages from wrestlers in WWE, AEW, & Impact who are pissed at wrestlers going to parties on NYE and bringing COVID into the locker rooms.

Florida, ATL, and Texas

Folks from different states going there to party is making this take longer imo.

I live in NC and people i know personally have both been in ATL and FL at different points to party.

Yesterday, WWE announced that WWE Champion Drew McIntyre tested positive for COVID-19. McIntyre would later address the fans on RAW and assured that he would still wrestle Goldberg at the Royal Rumble, and it was reported after WWE's announcement that WWE, AEW and ImpactWrestling are affected by this latest COVID outbreak.

On today's edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer confirmed three more positive cases of people that have or have just gotten over COVID. This would make it a total four positive COVID-19 cases in WWE thus far including McIntyre.

Meltzer said that there was one case on SmackDown where that talent was scheduled on the show but has now been taken off. There was one case involving "a big star" that has now returned after testing positive that has gone through quarantine, and there is one case in NXT. Meltzer also noted that there may be more absences mainly due to contact tracing.


In regards to McIntyre, the belief is that he tested positive shortly before this week's episode of RAW, most likely the day before on Sunday, as all talent and personnel are required to test before the show. The belief, also, is that it is unlikely that people like Hulk Hogan (67), Jimmy Hart (78) and Goldberg (54) are in immediate danger of contracting the virus. While McIntyre stated that he had no symptoms, Meltzer said that he had mild symptoms.

Said so himself

I hope Drew wasn’t one of the ones who went and partied it up and ended up with Covid. Wouldn’t be a good look as the WWE Champion and we know how petty Vince is. He’ll make Goldberg Squash him at the rumble .
