WWE Reportedly Paying COVID Test Costs For NXT Fans
October 22, 2020WWE does sometimes do the right thing.
Since moving NXT from Full Sail University to the WWE Performance Center they have started using actual fans as for the live crowd. WWE has stated that fans coming in for NXT shows need to be tested for COVID-19 each week and it is being reported that WWE is covering those costs.
According to John Alba from Spectrum Sports 360, Alba reports that WWE has a place set for fans to go to get tested for COVID-19 and that all costs included with this are covered by WWE.
Sources: #WWENXT protocols for fans to attend the shows at the CWC are set up through WWE. They designate a testing spot for attendee to go to, cover any involved costs. Results aren't sent to the person, but they get a notification if they're cleared or not. Temp. check at door.

Since posting, I've had some reach out who have said they are able to check their results in addition to #WWE giving clearance. I guess some others were not aware they could check them. Aventus Labs does the tests, which is the same provider WWE uses for its own crew. #WWENXT

WWE is trying to take all precautions they can to make sure anyone who comes into their tapings are clear and clean. We have seen recently if anyone comes in contact with someone with COVID they are pulled for 14 days even if they test negative.
