WWE Trainees Frustrated Over Training Schedule During Pandemic

WWE have upset some of their own trainees for their handling of schedules during the pandemic.

In what seems like a monthly story at this point, WWE Performance Center staff and wrestlers have contacted Fightful to express frustration about the company’s training schedule in the midst of a pandemic. After a couple of months of being at home, trainees were brought back a few days a week before the current full-time schedule.

Fightful Select reported the following:

Trainees are back at the Performance Center full-time, training five days a week in the midst of the pandemic.

WWE had initially been doing virtual classes, before a few days a week.
