WWE’s Mia Yim (Reckoning of Retribution) has revealed she has tested positive for COVID-19. The WWE Raw star was a likely entrant in this Sunday’s Royal Rumble match, but that is obviously no longer a possibility.

I have been getting tested every week for several months now, all have been negatives. I was negative last week. I got tested this afternoon, less than an hour ago and it came back positive. Please respect my privacy. Please stay safe, wash your hands, and wear a mask. See you all soon!”
