Vince McMahon Frustrated Over Wrestlers Not Following COVID-19 Protocol

Vince McMahon seems sick and tired of his wrestlers getting….sick.

Fightful Select reported the following this past weekend about Vince McMahon yet again getting frustrated over members of his roster not taking precations about COVID-19.

Vince McMahon has gotten particular about wrestler safety again in the pandemic. Fightful was told that there was a particular incident of a wrestler or staff member at Disney unmasked weeks back that set Vince McMahon off after he had made it clear he wanted wrestlers taking more precautions as a result of COVID-19 risks. McMahon has sent several messages either directly or indirectly to talent as a result of this, specifically in the days before the Super Bowl in an effort to dissuade wrestlers from attending Super Bowl parties unmasked. There have also been instances of staffers having their responsibilities reduced after photos of them emerged out and about without masks.

After our report dropped this past weekend, news of another NXT/Performance Center COVID outbreak emerged.
