Wrestling INC has a new report out, which highlights the differences between WWE and AEW’s testing procedures. Specifically, the site explains each company’s testing procedures for COVID-19.
Here is what WWE is doing right now for their testing before tapings:
In regards to WWE, we are told that all talents are instructed to show up to a parking garage the day before tapings. Talents stay in their cars and are given a nasal swab test. The talent then leave and are sent a text, or other message, later that night letting them know if they are positive or not. If they do not test positive they are then given show plans and are scheduled for television the following day.
Here is what the site wrote about AEW’s testing procedures:
As for AEW, talent go to an off-site facility the morning of tapings to have a blood prick test taken. This test allows a talent to know within ten minutes whether or not they are positive. If the talent passes the test, they are given a wrist band and taken to Daily’s Place. It was noted to us that if you do not have that wrist band, there is no way you are getting into Daily’s Place. We were also told that the blood prick test that AEW uses is a much easier process than the nasal swab test, but much more expensive.
