AJ Styles has revealed he tested positive for coronavirus over summer.
The WWE superstar – who lost the Intercontinental Championship to Jeff Hardy a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown – has opened up on having the respiratory illness after Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced he and his entire family had battled Covid-19.
Talking on his own Twitch stream, Styles said: ‘So let me enlighten you guys as well. I tested positive a couple of weeks ago, well almost a month, I think, ago. I feel for people who have to deal with this.
‘But I gotta say, I didn’t have that many problems with it. Hopefully The Rock and his family, hopefully everybody’s safe and everybody’s taken care of and nobody has too bad of symptoms and stuff.
‘It sucks. It’s not good for anybody. But yeah, The Rock and family testing positive for Covid sucks, man. It sucks. Hopefully he doesn’t see a lot of symptoms and he gets over it – him and his family – pretty quick.’
The Phenomenal One admitted he hadn’t suffered too badly with the virus, and he knows he was ‘lucky’.
He added: ‘I was one of the lucky ones with that being said. I had a headache, I never had a fever. Maybe a couple of boogers, that was about it. So hopefully everything is gonna turn out fine with those guys.’
As noted by 411Mania, AJ missed just one episode of SmackDown last month (August 7), but WWE’s taping schedule before going live with the debut of the ThunderDome meant his material could have been taped before his positive test.
His IC Title bout with Gran Metalik was taped on July 21 but didn’t air until July 31, a week before he missed an episode.
Hall of Famer Kevin Nash similarly responded to The Rock’s video by revealing he had also tested positive.
He replied to Dwayne’s tweet, writing: ‘Welcome to the team. Very sorry you’re family is infected. I was tired for a while didn’t train for the 4th day. My wife still hasn’t got smell or tastes back. Son was asymptomatic. Pray you heal up quickly. Thank you for making people realize it’s real (sic)’
