As PWMania.com previously reported, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that Vince McMahon was said to be “livid” after finding out that there was a New Year’s party which led to Steve Cutler testing positive:
“The belief is that it had to do with his New Year’s Eve party that led to that and that McMahon had promised a few wrestlers like Reigns a safe environment when he returned and Cutler was around all the talent.”
Cutler’s girlfriend, Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo, addressed the report:
We attended a NYE party, like dozens of other people.
When Steve tested positive prior to SD, he was sent home and immediately started quarantine. He was NOT at work while being positive.
Stop misconstruing the truth for clickbait. https://t.co/bIHwdUjlJm

My reasoning is I was at a party w/ people who I’ve spent the ENTIRE last year w/ & who are tested every week.
The worst case scenario happened.
Once we were aware, we took every precaution to test & quarantine properly.
Articles insinuating otherwise are FALSE. https://t.co/Q4UJNY1yAm
