WWE announced on Monday that reigning WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has tested positive for COVID-19. In an announcement made on WWE.com, the company confirmed that he has been placed in quarantine, though no updates were given regarding his status as world champion. McIntyre was last seen on WWE television at the end of last week’s Monday Night Raw, where he successfully defended his title against Keith Lee in front of more than a dozen WWE legends as part of “Legends Night.” He was then approached by Bill Goldberg, who claimed McIntyre wasn’t showing respect to legends of the past and challenged him to a title match at the Royal Rumble.

There’s no word yet on if that match will be affected as a result of the pandemic. As of this writing, McIntyre has not commented on the situation on social media. While McIntyre is far from the first active WWE wrestler to test positive for the virus since the pandemic began, this does mark the first time WWE has openly confirmed a wrestler’s positive case.
