Hence, it is extremely shocking to hear the news that she has tested positive. Now, not only Young, but almost all of the individuals, performers, staff members, and executives she has met are at risk of contracting the virus.

AEW Superstar Jon Moxley, who is married to Renee Young may have also ontracted the virus. Moxley has chosen to sit out of the AEW Dynamite show, and his presence at AEW Fyter Fest is also doubtful at this point.

Moxley’s official reason for sitting out was that he was in contact with somebody who was in contact with an infected individual. It is unclear at this point if Renee transmitted the virus to her husband, or if her husband transmitted it to her.

Whatever may be the case, there may be a breakout in the WWE Performance Center, potentially jeopardizing any future tapings. Stay tuned to this space for updates on the situation.
