Just one day after Lance Archer confirmed that he tested positive for COVID-19 that will keep him on the sidelines for a few weeks, Ben Carter, a prospect wrestler who has worked for AEW, revealed that he tested positive for the virus as well.
He did so on Thursday morning when he posted the following statement on Twitter:
“I have tested positive for COVID-19. Man. You literally can’t write it. After this Tuesday I was on an all-time high…and to be honest, I kind still am. The outpouring of support recently has been utterly mind-blowing and I can’t thank everyone enough. Having said that, I had some really cool things lined up in the coming weeks that I now have to back out of.
All of which really stings. But hey, I feel fine. I guess I don’t really taste my food as much as I normally do, but I feel fine. For now anyways. Cheers again for all the love that’s been shown. I’m truly living my American Dream.”

Carter was trained at Seth Rollins and Marek Brave’s wrestling school. He just made his AEW debut when he worked a match against Ricky Starks on Dark. Two of his matches aired this past Tuesday night that saw him lose to Scorpio Sky on Late Night Dynamite, but score a win over Lee Johnson on Dark.
It was reported today that there have been multiple AEW wrestlers who have tested positive for the virus.
