Several NXT Trainees Frustrated Over "COVID Truthers"
Added 2020-10-11 20:35:09 +0000 UTCNXT trainees were set to return to the renovated WWE Performance Center on Thursday, October 8, but many weren't comfortable with returning for obvious reasons. Months prior, NXT talent were told there would be no heat on them if they didn't feel safe coming in and training, but that they might need to "explain it to Vince." We've not heard any instances of that actually happening.
However, NXT trainees in contact with Fightful have expressed their discomfort with training, with multiple citing the number of "COVID truthers" on the NXT roster that just don't take the situation seriously.

2020-10-12 05:19:35 +0000 UTCIt will be very difficult to avoid future NXT outbreaks if part of the roster has decided they will not wear a mask, social distance, etc etc. Just because you don't believe in the virus, doesn't mean it can't get you sick.

2020-10-12 01:23:16 +0000 UTCI wish some of these names would be exposed. It’s pathetic how many of the talent are forced to be in such a toxic environment. Have no doubt Raquel is one of them as she’s pretty Pro-Trump (such a shame.) regardless, thanks for the incite, Sean.

2020-10-11 21:16:39 +0000 UTCIs the same truther who threw a party that forced some wrestlers to self quarantine afterwards?

2020-10-11 20:55:11 +0000 UTCI wouldn't be surprised if Jakson Ryker helped people be that way. Regardless, YOU'RE THE FREAKING FUTURE OF THE COMPANY AND YET YOU'RE DOWNPLAYING A DAMN PANDEMIC?!?! Jfc imagine if this is how it went when that swine flu epidemic in the late 1910s happened(correct me if I'm wrong about the years and/or the type of flu tho).
