This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite was aired live. The company will be taping next week’s episode in advance. Fans have noticed that many talents have not appeared on Dynamite lately and there seems to be a reason for that.
As reported earlier, there was a COVID-19 outbreak in NXT recently. However, now they might not be the only promotion dealing with an outbreak. Lance Archer missed this week’s AEW Dynamite as he tested positive for the virus.
According to a report by John Alba, AEW has recently experienced a COVID-19 outbreak as well. It is possible that stars did not show up 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.
