With yesterday’s planned TV tapings cancelled due to extensive testing taking place for all employees and talents, WWE has today once more started to tape upcoming shows.

Courtesy of the ever-reliable John Pollock over at POST Wrestling, taping has now got back underway a little earlier today. This coming after an initial delay to today’s schedule while the results of this week’s tests were being waited for.

As of right now, WWE Main Event and 205 Live have already been taped so far, and next Monday’s Raw was the next offering to be recorded. After that, plans are in place to get the next two episodes of NXT in the can by the end of the day.

At present, tonight’s episode of NXT will air live, with next Wednesday’s NXT outing being recorded directly after that live show.

For what it’s worth, these reports also indicate that some talent and employees are still yet to receive their test results back – which is sadly not a surprise, given how WWE has handled matters during the ongoing situation that has been sweeping the globe over the past few months.
