Friday was a chaotic travel day for many people all over the United States as the Federal Aviation Administration ordered the grounding of all flights in the country. Luckily the stars of the WWE who were needed for SmackDown made it to Florida in time for the show, but it sounds like they may be having some issues when it comes to getting to their next destination.
Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer reported that many SmackDown stars are currently stranded when he wrote, “Many of the wrestlers at Smackdown are stranded until likely Sunday.”
Dave Meltzer is also reporting that luckily the majority of the AEW wrestlers planned for the Full Gear pay-per-view later tonight are already in Phoenix. With the shutdown now over everyone is expected to make it to the show on time. Meltzer added that a lot of TNA Wrestling talent may not be in Edmonton ahead of the Destination X pay-per-view. Although they should make it in time since the show isn’t until Sunday.
CM Punk and Bayley are both advertised for the NXT Holiday Tour in Detroit on November 14th and Punk indicated in one of his latest Instagram stories that he and Bayley are driving from Florida as they attempt to make it to the show on time. Another NXT live event is also scheduled for Chicago on November 15th.
CM Punk and the WWE roster are making the towns despite the airlines being down. 💪🏼 https://t.co/iu0VJD85zS
