We welcome you all to another edition of Sportskeeda's daily WWE Rumor Roundup. The road to SummerSlam is well and truly heating up as WWE looks to get everything in place for the biggest show of the Summer.

We have many different stories to talk about today, and first is about another employee testing positive for COVID-19. A WWE Superstar also tested positive recently, which was the reason why he was taken off a big match.

Gunter's positive diagnosis comes after Apollo Crews reportedly tested positive for COVID-19. As revealed by Dave Meltzer, the reigning United States allegedly tested positive for the virus. WWE may have hoped that he'd be okay to compete at Extreme Rules; however, that wasn't the case, and he was pulled from the show despite being advertised.
