Last week& #39;s Smackdown featured multiple individuals, including Renee Young and Kayla Braxton, who later tested for positive for COVID-19, interacting with other wrestlers on the show. Producers also tested positive and presumably more wrestlers based on absences this week.

Today& #39;s Smackdown was within the recommended time period to quarantine people who interact with COVID-19 positive individuals. Not only were wrestlers like Jeff Hardy, who did a face to face interview last week with Young, not quarantined, they were featured in large groups.

The beginning and the end of this week& #39;s show featured practically all the wrestlers on the show out there together for no good reason. In between those there was an 8 man tag and a 4 person match with 2 more wrestlers at ringside, maximizing interaction at the worst time.

Meanwhile, WWE continues to be totally tight lipped to talent and the public about what& #39;s going on. The lack of information gives the appearance of an overt cover up. This goes beyond simple negligence to reckless indifference to their talent& #39;s health.

Wrestlers ought to band together *immediately* and demand at the very least transparency and independent representation at each show who are there to protect their health. It& #39;s obvious at this point the company does not have their backs or the backs of their families.
