I hope everyone gets healthy soon (or stays healthy if they are only a contact) that’s all that really matters.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted that only around half of the Producers are available for the December 27th 2021 edition of RAW.

As of four days ago, Day 1 was at 9,700 tickets sold of 10,200 put up for sale. Yeah, that’s not too bad considering.

I don't have the full story but I do know the NFL moved in a similar direction of not testing fully vaccinated players who show no symptoms of the virus and experts were divided on the policy. This feels a little bit too soon for WWE but it's also the direction we seem to be headed during the pandemic. Luckily we're in a better position with vaccines and treatment options right now so this is not nearly as bad as their stance at the onset of the pandemic but you also reap what you sow. They'll likely have less positives per show but it increases the chance of a massive spread if it isn't caught quickly enough. Only time will tell what happens.

Like, we are but at the same time, from someone who lives in Europe, we know how much Omnicron has spread (Ireland on Christmas Day had the most cases it had since the start of the pandemic and have had to put in restrictions even with how much of the population is vaccinated) and with the risk of that only rising, there’s no logic in any league or industry trying this stuff at all.

I mean, not being funny but…tough shit? That’s how it has to be especially if that someone can still keep the virus and spread it without showing any symptoms.

But I'm very certain that's their mindset and it's why sports leagues are changing policies.

Remember when WWE finessed the system to get their talent listed as “essential” and very actively contributed to the public health crisis in it’s early states more than virtually any other American sports league??
Yeah.
Yeah.

A lot of companies are honestly now taking the approach that if you are vaccinated and not showing symptoms you don't have to be tested so that wouldn't surprise me.
However knowing WWE they're gonna treat it like even if you have symptoms it's business as usual. Vaccinated or unvaccinated

This is also why you don't fire over a hundred people during a pandemic if you don't have to. If a lot of your talent gets COVID, just bring in some other talent. But when you do fire a bunch of people, your choices are severely limited.

There is no 100% accurate test...except maybe a full blown antibody test but idk if WWE is in any position to impliment that on the regular without outsourcing it and who knows how much a company as stringent as they are with financials would cost them.
So I could see it from them being like...well if we keep teasting with inaccurate tests and we end up with a false positives (like the nba) they would just be f***ing themselves over by a whole bunch of talent having to be pulled from events even though the person does not actually have the vid.
But also on the other hand...just wiping testing completely probably not the news you want a guy like Roman to be getting.
