WWE Chief Content Officer and Head of Creative Paul “Triple H” Levesque reportedly recently tested positive for COVID-19, according to PWInsider.

Mike Johnson reported that his sources stated that Levesque is currently feeling well but had been sent home and was unable to perform his in-person backstage duties running Monday’s RAW show in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Levesque reportedly is currently expected to be away from his backstage duties until he clears the company’s current COVID-19 protocols.
