World Wrestling Entertainment announced today that Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns have been pulled from the WWE TLC event this Sunday in Minneapolis.

Wyatt had been off the road for several weeks as a precautionary measure after his brother, Bo Dallas, was diagnosed with an illness described to PWInsider.com as a "communicable disease." As we noted earlier this week, WWE ring announcer JoJo was also pulled as a precautionary measure.

With Wyatt not cleared to return to in-ring action, Finn Balor's match against Wyatt has been scrapped. Smackdown's AJ Styles will work the show in Wyatt's place, giving WWE fans a legitimate first time dream match.

WWE also announced that Roman Reigns has been pulled for a medical issue (possibly the same one) and that WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle will replace him in the main event TLC match, competing in a WWE ring for the first time since 2006.

PWInsider.com can also report that WWE requested a number of talents set for TLC undergo medical testing earlier this week.

I guess their thinking is since miz had beef with Kurt, why not throw Kurt in the match to replace Roman? I would have waited for Kurt’s return but what can u do? I’m not mad

Wrestling Inc. can confirm that WWE is testing members of the RAW roster for the mumps. WWE had apparently originally tested some talent for viral meningitis, and discovered that the illness is believed to be the mumps.

Mumps is an airborne virus that can be spread by saliva or utensils - even plates or cups - with an infected person. It can also be spread by coughing or sneezing. Symptoms usually take 16-18 days to appear. It then usually takes several days to a week to disappear.

It will be interesting to see how WWE handles the testing, because once talent is tested, they can't work until the results are back.

It is not known if SmackDown talent will also be tested for the virus.
 
When asked about Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt being pulled from the WWE TLC PPV, a WWE rep gave the following statement to ESPN.com:

"We have confirmed that three of our performers have been diagnosed with a viral infection. As a precautionary measure, we are ensuring in-ring performers and staff are tested and immunized in accordance with recommended medical guidelines."

While it wasn't specified, it's believed that the 3rd person in question is Bo Dallas.
