Seems like a really great idea to be changing how the testing works right at the same time both Raw and especially NXT were completely ravaged this week presumably by COVID but y'know, that's probably why they're doing it, so long as you can bury your head in the sand who cares I guess. Can't let knowledge about the health and safety of your workers get in the way when there's money to be made.
Granted, this is far from just a WWE thing. But this is a WWE thread, sooooo.
It's easy to not have positive tests if you don't test...we're already back here. Places not testing, people with positive tests being told to go to work anyway. WWE is just following the country.

Yeah, I mean, as shitty as it is (and it is shitty), WWE isn't any worse than every other company doing this shit because nobody will tell them they can't. And I get it; companies want to continue making money, but this whole trend of acting like the pandemic is ending when it's absolutely not is just getting more people sick.

Well, the worst-case scenario has arrived, as Roman Reigns has tested positive for Covid, which means he’s off Day One tonight.

the fact WWE is no longer requiring testing is unconscionable
now their golden goose who's they've billed up for over a year as an unstoppable monster, who opted not to wrestle at the start of the pandemic over concerns because his immune system is compromised, has covid

So much for taking Roman off the house shows to keep him safe for Day 1.
All the best to Roman. I hope his symptoms are light (if he even has any) and he gets through it quickly. I also hope he didn't catch it on WWE's watch.

It was bound to happen, unfortunately. I hope he'll be alright.

So now Brock is in the wwe title match. I feel like the title Is gonna change hands tonight I think was going to anyway. Probably not to Brock though. I imagine Usos attack him and take him out of the finish.

I imagine Usos attack him and take him out of the finish. Yeah I’m hoping it’s either KO or Seth, but I have no problem with Big E retaining either. Hopefully this also means Brock/Roman at the rumble to get that fued outta the way before mania

Given how ridiculously transmissible this variant is, it’s not a shock and hopefully he’s okay because as you say his immune system is compromised.

Go read page 7 Saw it. I mean the NFL have done something similar. Carson wentz for example was put on the covid list and to play on Sunday he’s not required to test negative for covid. He needs to be cleared by a team doctor. The testing requirements have been fudged because if they stuck the old guidelines then things would grind to a halt.

I can't even get grim schadenfreud out of the WWE reaping what they've sewn, because there's the legit health concerns of Joe Anoa'i/Roman Reigns to worry about.
It's been a week of sheer stupidity out of wrestling promoters.

Yeah he does have legit health concerns, but this variant is more mild, and Roman is also very fit and he’s relatively young so I have a feeling he will end up ok

It's been a week of sheer stupidity out of wrestling promoters. Yeah, there's absolutely zero funny here. And maybe omicron is mild enough for him to shrug it off, but the variant is hitting kids a lot harder and it's driving a lot more pediatric hospitalizations, and Roman's got twins born in 2020. If he's at risk of having brought it home, that's a problem. If he didn't bring it home, he's still cut off from his family for a few weeks, and Roman seems like a guy that really cares about his family. It's sad. It's all genuinely tragic and awful.

Mild or not, it’s a great concern for him.

He also could have got it from being home and having family and friends over for the holidays. He hasn't wrestled since before the holidays.
