Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com reached out to Lauderdale, which he replied “I’ve referred this matter to my lawyer and as much as I’d like to comment, I’ve been advised not to.”
Several GCW wrestlers including Joey Janela stated that these accusations are false and provided screenshots of group chats where wrestlers had to provide negative Covid-19 tests before events.
