Serena Deeb off UWN Primetime Live as COVID-19 precaution

Serena Deeb is off next Tuesday’s edition of the United Wrestling Network’s Primetime Live after coming into contact with someone who later tested positive for COVID-19.

Deeb was scheduled to face Allysin Kay on Primetime Live next Tuesday (September 29). Kay will now face Nicole Savoy on the show.

“Earlier this week, I came into contact with an individual who later tested positive for COVID-19. I am taking extra precaution and will be self quarantining for 10 days,” Deeb said in a statement. “Due to this, I unfortunately have to postpone the match at Primetime Live next week with Allysin Kay. I offer my utmost apologies for this. This is a serious matter, and the health and safety of everyone involved always comes first.”

The NWA has partnered with UWN for the weekly Primetime Live pay-per-view series. The NWA tweeted about Deeb being off next Tuesday’s show: “Allysin Kay is going to have a hell of a battle on her hands with Nicole Savoy at Prime Time Live on 9/29! We wish Serena Deeb all the best & look forward to when we can reschedule.”

Deeb worked as a coach for WWE prior to April’s roster cuts. She made her AEW in-ring debut earlier this month. It was announced this week that she’s signed with AEW.
