Following several similar situations across the past year, WWE’s NXT brand is believed to be in the middle of yet another COVID-19 outbreak.
As reported by FightfulSelect, significant changes will be made to this week’s NXT broadcast, with several talents having been pulled from the show and told to quarantine.

That meeting required plentiful WWE Performance Center trainees to attend, and reports claim that several people in attendance weren’t following COVID-19 precautions. As a direct result of that, certain talent had been informed to quarantine themselves.
