WWE is gearing up for one of the longest days of television tapings today in Orlando, FL.

Following a positive COVID-19 test, the company postponed scheduled tapings Tuesday, testing all talent and staff.

According to PWInsider, WWE will not allow anyone to come to the Performance Center or Full Sail Live until their COVID-19 tests have come back negative.

A number of talent, staff, and high-level executives are on standby near the Performance Center waiting for their test results to come.

The company plans on taping 8 shows today, beginning at 11 a.m. They are currently 40 minutes behind schedule, which has been frustrating to those waiting to begin their day.

There are still talents and staff waiting outside for their COVID-19 test results to come in as they will not be allowed into the Performance Center until they are cleared to do so.
