When can WWE expect Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt and the other impacted superstars to return to Raw and future PPVs?
In light of the unprecedented MAJOR card changes to WWE’s Raw branded Tables Ladders and Chairs 2017 (TLC 2017) PPV to night, and to the upcoming few Monday Night Raws, due to viral meningitis, we thought we’d share some information about the illness. Based on the information below, it quite conceivable that only one of the sidelined superstars may have actual viral meningitis while the others (1) may have the virus that caused patient zero to get the viral meningitis (see below for the usual suspects) or (2) have no symptoms, but are being sent as a precautionary measure due to their close association with patient zero.
This viral meningitis scare has sidelines Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt from TLC 2017 replacing them with Kurt Angle and AJ Styles respectively.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has some information on their website concerning viral meningitis.
