AEW’s Serena Deeb Removed From Show As COVID Precaution, Ben Carter Tests Positive
AEW-affiliated wrestlers to enter quaratine.
AEW wrestler Serena Deeb has been pulled from next week’s United Wrestling Network Primetime Live show after revealing she came into contact with somebody who tested positive for the illness currently sweeping the globe.
The UWN’s David Marquez tweeted a quote from Deeb, who was supposed to face Allysin Kay next Tuesday:-
AEW announced it had signed Serena to a contract on 21 September. She appeared on this week’s episode of Dark, defeating KiLynn King, though CAGEMATCH lists this show as being taped on 10 September.
This week’s biggest breakout star, Ben Carter, has confirmed his own positive test result:-
Carter worked Lee Johnson on this week’s AEW Dark and Scorpio Sky on Tuesday’s Late Night Dynamite special, drawing rave reviews for both performances. Each of these shows was pretaped.
This comes on the back of a difficult week for AEW, COVID-wise, with Lance Archer announcing a positive test result prior to the regular Wednesday episode of Dynamite, forcing a reshuffle. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp and Spectrum Sports 360’s Jon Alba reported yesterday that a number of wrestlers present at the promotion’s 9 September television tapings had tested positive, though not necessarily at Daily’s Place.
