“I have been getting tested every week for several months now, all have been negatives. I was negative last week. I got tested this afternoon, less than an hour ago and it came back positive. Please respect my privacy. Please stay safe, wash your hands, and wear a mask. See you all soon!”

Yim referred to the rumour, which started after Yim and Keith Lee (in relationship together) didn't feature in the Monday Night RAW, not just this week but the last week too. Lee was defeated by Drew McIntyre earlier in the month, for WWE Championship.
