Lance Archer Announces He Has Tested Positive For COVID-19

The number one contender to the AEW World Title has COVID-19.

Unfortunately, there is a virus going around this world right now and no matter who you are and how safe you think you are being, you have a chance of getting it. That has been the case for many people in pro wrestling and now we have learned that AEW wrestler Lance Archer has tested Positive for the virus.

Archer himself took to social media to reveal that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and has returned home. He stated that a family member of his was ill and got it from a friend who assisted them in taking their dog to the vet. Archer will now not be able to compete on tonight’s AEW Dynamite.

When I returned from our last show, a family member was ill when I got home. I found out later a friend who had taken my family member to the Vet for our Dachshund was COVID positive. While at home, now I’ve also gotten sick tested positive. I feel ok, expect to see me in 2 wks
