WWE Releases Official Statement Concerning “Viral Infection”

There are lots of people wondering what is going on right now on the Raw brand. Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns have been pulled from the TLC pay-per-view effectively canceling The Shield’s reunion.

There have been numerous reports that something has been going on with Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas for quite a while now. But these rumors were kicked into high gear when it was revealed a possible contagious disease might wind up causing WWE to change-up the card for TLC.

Now WWE released an official statement on the matter and it doesn’t sound very good as they confirmed that three performers have been diagnosed with a viral infection. This infection wasn’t named, but the official statement released to WrestlingInc reads as follows:

“We have confirmed that three of our performers have been diagnosed with a viral infection. As a precautionary measure, we are ensuring in-ring performers and staff are tested and immunized in accordance with recommended medical guidelines.”

It’s interesting how WWE is staying away from revealing the exact disease which is why they chose the term “viral infection” so specifically. But the fact they’re acknowledging this problem can’t mean good things because obviously, things have got this far.

A new report says WWE has known about this issue since late in the week. Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that there were plenty of possibilities for who would replace Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt and they eventually landed on the best choices available.

After all, you can’t find a much better choice than Kurt Angle. A match between Finn Balor and AJ Styles is also a match that fans have been begging for since they both ended up in the same company once again.

Whatever is going on, we really hope for the best.
