Confirmed List Of Wrestlers Who Missed This Week's WWE NXT Tapings
Johnny Gargano & Candice LeRae head the list of wrestlers missing from WWE NXT this week.
Dave Meltzer has published a partial list of NXT personnel missing from this week's tapings at the Capitol Wrestling Center in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The following names weren't at the show:-
- Triple H (as covered earlier)
- Drake Wuertz
- Pete Dunne
- Timothy Thatcher
- Alexander Wolfe
- Wes Lee
- Nash Carter
- Zack Gibson
- James Drake
- Leon Ruff
- Isaiah Scott
- Johnny Gargano
- Candice LeRae
This comes following news of a new COVID-19 outbreak amongst WWE's black and gold brand, forcing much of this week's show to be scrapped and rewritten.
Of those named above, Thatcher had been advertised for a tag bout pitting him and Tommaso Ciampa against Imperium's Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner. Scott and Ruff were booked to go one on one, while Dunne was scheduled to be part of an interview segment with Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch. Lee, Nash, Gibson, Drake, LeRae, and Gargano appeared via remote video.
Other wrestlers may have been pencilled in for angles, though none were advertised.
There is no indication that any of the people listed above have COVID-19. Other possible reasons for them missing the show include coming into contact with someone who has tested positive or simply not being needed on the night.
