Kayla Braxton has test positive for coronavirus twice. The first positive case of coronavirus test from WWE was reported back in early April last year.
An on-air talent who worked March WWE Performance Center tapings and WrestleMania 36 had tested positive after going out to dinner with friends who worked in the healthcare industry. There is a possibility that report was Kayla Braxton’s first positive test.
When she tested for the second time in June, she wrote: “Was keeping it quiet but since everyone else is sharing, I feel like it is my responsibility to share this PSA: YOU CAN GET COVID-19 MORE THAN ONCE! I had it back in early March and then thought I was invincible after I recovered. Not true. Dont be dumb like me.”
