Georgia Reopening For Wrestling Again From Friday?
Promotions like AEW may be able to resume taping in Georgia this week.
Wrestling promotions may be able to resume taping shows in the state of Georgia from this Friday, 24 April.
State Governor Brian Kemp announced yesterday that places like gyms, barbershops, hair salons, bowling alleys, and some restaurants and movie theatres will be allowed to reopen from the date. Bars and nightclubs are to remain closed for the time being.
Whether or not this will cover professional wrestling or if it'll still be regulated as a sport remains to be seen, though the announcement led to immediate speculation of shows kicking back into gear.
All Elite Wrestling had previously taped several weeks' worth of content at QT Marshall's gym in the state. The news may also be a relief to the National Wrestling Alliance, whose weekly series, Powerrr, is filmed in Atlanta.
Figure Four Online has today claimed that AEW may consider taping multiple episodes of Dark and Dynamite with Georgia (and potentially Florida) reopening for business), also noting that all wrestlers who didn't work their most recent shows have been self-quarantining to prepare for such an occurrence.
WWE shall resume taping shows at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida from Saturday 25 April.
