Backstage News on Future AEW Shows During Coronavirus Pandemic

It had been previously reported that last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite saw major talent not being able to perform on the show, due to travel restrictions caused by the Coronavirus pandemic that is sweeping the world. But what does this mean for future shows going forward?

According to the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it will be difficult to tape shows weekly, as Jacksonville’s largest Coronavirus testing center will be in the parking lot of HIAA Field, about 100 yards from where AEW is taping at Daily’s Place. Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry has also talked about cracking down on businesses and employees, to prevent them from taking unnecessary risks.

AEW has been working with the city regarding the ability to continue to use Daily’s Place for taping each week. It should be noted that the only people around this week’s show were the wrestlers in the one room for the skits, those in the actual, open-aired building, a few production people outside the building in the truck, and Tony Khan as the only person backstage handling Gorilla and timing the show.

The production team did a great job with this week’s show:

Editor’s Opinion:

Hopefully AEW can keep their doors open, as long as they have special restrictions put into place. I would assume that if they take all necessary precautions and can prove to the Jacksonville officials that they are in compliance with current policies, then hopefully they will be allowed to continue production.
