WWE informs talent that COVID testing is no longer required (Patreon)

COVID cases have reached their height since January in the United States, and have hit WWE hard.

Several top WWE stars are sidelined from this week's shows with COVID infections, but WWE is taking measures the opposite way within NXT. Performance Center talent was informed this past weekend that they're no longer requiring the twice-weekly COVID testing that had previously been mandatory around television tapings. We've also learned that WWE main roster also got a message being informed that weekly testing isn't required. We were not told if there was a vaccination qualifier added to that ruling.

This ruling didn't sit well with several within the company that Fightful heard from on Monday, considering how short-handed the company is with COVID infections as is.
