Several AEW stars apparently tested positive for COVID-19

This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite was a live episode and the company will be taping the upcoming Dynamite this week in advance. The usual deep roster has not been present lately and there seems to be a reason for that.

 


 

As reported earlier, there was a COVID-19 outbreak in NXT recently and it seems they are not the only ones. Lance Archer was tested positive for the virus, which is why he missed this week’s Dynamite.

According to a report by John Alba, AEW has experienced COVID-19 cases as well. It is possible that stars were kept off Dynamite this week for “precautionary reasons,” but there are “multiple positive cases” in the company so far.

Over the last few months, #AEW has by far had the most extensive COVID-19 protocols among any wrestling companies that chose to run during the pandemic. The conditions of how or where the virus was transmitted is not entirely clear at this time. Hoping everyone affected is OK.

It’s entirely plausible talent were kept off this week’s show for precautionary reasons, and didn’t necessarily test positive.

But we can report there were multiple positive cases in the past couple of weeks involving talent who were present at tapings earlier this month.

Brian Cage said he was not “feeling very well,” but did not reveal the reason for it. We will keep you updated on this ongoing story.
