WWE Covering Costs Of COVID-19 Tests For NXT Fans

It was reported earlier this week that WWE was under investigation as being a COVID-19 hotspot. The virus as been a story for WWE a number of times with many people taking them to task for their lack of proper testing early in the pandemic.

However, Jon Alba of Spectrum Sports 360 is reporting that WWE is covering the costs of the COVID-19 testing for their attendees. WWE began allowing small groups of people in for NXT tapings at the Capital Wrestling Center. Here are the tweets:

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.

Since 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. #WWENXT

“WWE NXT 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 WWE NXT happens the day before. Every individual who attends is then taken to their pod, where they are stationed with those in [their] party. Sanitation is also available in pod. Paul Levesque had mentioned this on the last call.

It was also reported that the number of COVID-19 cases at WWE was much higher than originally thought. With this news out there, it is the least WWE could do to cover the costs for their guests.
