TNA Wrestling says Destination X will go ahead as scheduled on Sunday in Edmonton, although travel problems will force changes to the card.
TNA said on Saturday that the November 15 event remains set for the Edmonton EXPO Centre despite widespread disruption following Friday’s FAA nationwide ground stop.
TNA President Carlos Silva confirmed that the originally advertised lineup will be altered because of problems getting talent to Canada.
After a wild 24 hours, we are really excited for the returning Destination X on Sunday afternoon,” Silva said. “As always, card subject to change — and yes, there will be changes to the originally scheduled lineup, forced by travel predicaments that are affecting travelers around the world.
TNA has not yet identified which matches or wrestlers will be affected.
Silva added that two wrestlers had offered to take a short domestic flight and then drive more than 600 miles in order to reach the event.
Friday’s FAA ground stop halted departing flights across the United States after problems with the country’s air traffic communications system. Although the restriction was later lifted, thousands of flights remained canceled or delayed as airlines worked through the disruption on Saturday.
Destination X is scheduled to begin with its Countdown show at 4 pm local time in Edmonton, followed by the main pay-per-view at 5 pm.
The previously announced main event has TNA World Champion Leon Slater defending against Trey Miguel. Indi Hartwell is also scheduled to defend the Knockouts World Championship against Shayna Baszler.
The card additionally includes a three-way TNA World Tag Team Championship match, two Ultimate X matches to determine future title challengers, and the World X-Cup tournament.
TNA said further updates on the Destination X lineup will be issued through its website and social media channels.
