Heat around IMPACT COVID protocols
Added 2020-12-05 18:00:04 +0000 UTCThere were several frustrated names we heard from out of the IMPACT Wrestling tapings this go around. The first wave had to do with several wrestlers mentioning that the tapings seemed more unprepared and fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants than any this year.
COVID protocols were a major concern, especially considering there was a positive test to emerge from those tapings. Several IMPACT wrestlers that we've spoken to have never been given a COVID-19 test by the company across multiple sets of tapings. Others say that many in the roster were encouraged to get tested after the outbreak of the GCW Collective, but it wasn't enforced whatsoever. Talent gets temperature checked and checks off a paper indicating that they don't have symptoms. There was significant heat on IMPACT management for the situation coming out of the tapings.

Surely AEW can't be happy with this considering their newly crowned champion is set to appear on the show this week?
