Renee Young took to Twitter a few days ago to confirm that she tested positive for COVID-19. The entire professional wrestling community came together to send well wishes to the popular WWE personality on social media.

We now have a few updates regarding her condition.

As reported by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Renee Young's condition has improved, and it is not as bad as the early stages. The last word, as of June 25th, was that she felt some heaviness in her chest, but the cough had gotten better.

Thankfully enough, the belief is that Renee Young has already been through the worst phase of the infection, and she is on the path to a complete recovery.

It was also noted that Jon Moxley's test result came back as negative. After Young's result was revealed to be positive, the AEW World Champion informed Tony Khan about the same and the promotion nixed his scheduled appearance on last week's episode of Dynamite.

It was noted that Moxley has been told by the doctors to isolate himself, and if he doesn't show symptoms, he could be available for his scheduled Fyter Fest match against Brian Cage. Young and Moxley are both said to be isolating themselves in different parts of the house.
