AEW star Lance Archer has confirmed that he recently tested positive for COVID-19.

Archer took to Twitter just an hour ago to reveal that he was in recent contact with a family member who had unknowingly picked up the virus from a friend who was hoping to take them to the vet for their pet Daschund.

Archer said that AEW fans can expect to see him back in action in two weeks time. He is set to challenge AEW Champion Jon Moxley for his AEW Championship after winning the Casino Battle Royal at AEW All Out.

“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,”
