The COVID-19 pandemic continues to take over the world and that includes professional wrestling. WWE wants to avoid the risk of another outbreak in NXT with fans entering the Capitol Wrestling Center. Fans must undergo mandatory testing before they are allowed to go into the Center. It seems the company is paying the costs for the tests.
According to a report by John Alba, WWE will be covering all costs involved with the COVID-19 testing done through Aventus Labs. Fans will be able to check the results for themselves.
Sources: #WWENXT protocols for fans to attend the shows at the CWC are set up through WWE. They designate a testing spot for attendee to go to, cover any involved costs. Results aren’t sent to the person, but they get a notification if they’re cleared or not. Temp. check at door.
COVID testing for attending #WWENXT happens the day before. Every individual who attends is then taken to their pod, where they are stationed with those in they’re party. Sanitation is also available in pod. Paul Levesque had mentioned this on the last call. #WWESince posting, I’ve had some reach out who have said they are able to check their results in addition to #WWE giving clearance. I guess some others were not aware they could check them. Aventus Labs does the tests, which is the same provider WWE uses for its own crew.
WWE plans on bringing in more fans to the Capitol Wrestling Center eventually and also have chairs for fans.
