TNA Alters Destination X Card After FAA Ground Stop Disrupts Sunday Pay-Per-View

Q: With a nationwide FAA outage scrambling flights, which TNA stars will actually make it to the ring for Destination X?

No one outside TNA knows for certain yet which wrestlers will successfully make it to Edmonton. The company has confirmed only that Destination X will proceed Sunday and that the lineup will change because the FAA ground stop created major travel problems. What is known is the roster TNA had most recently advertised before the disruption. That included world champion Leon Slater defending against Trey Miguel, Indi Hartwell facing Shayna Baszler for the Knockouts title, and a tag title three-way involving The Nemeths, Matt Hardy and Moose, and syX. The announced Ultimate X matches featured BDE, Joe Alonzo, John Skyler, KC Navarro, Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann on the men’s side, and Tasha Steelz, M by Elegance, Xia Brookside, Shotzi Blackheart, Gabby Forza and Jada Stone in the Knockouts match. The World X Cup qualifiers were also set to include Fabian Aichner, Ricky Sosa, Amir Jordan, Rey Horus, Jason Hotch and The Home Town Man. But TNA has not said which of those names were delayed, scratched or replaced. President Carlos Silva said only that at least two wrestlers were so determined to appear that they offered to take a short U.S. flight and then drive more than 600 miles. So the best answer for now is that many of the advertised stars may still appear, but the final card remains uncertain until TNA issues updated match announcements closer to bell time.

TNA said Sunday’s Destination X in Edmonton will proceed, but the card has been changed after the FAA’s nationwide ground stop stranded some scheduled wrestlers.
Several hours of halted flights on Friday created the travel disruption, with president Carlos Silva saying lineup changes were forced by problems affecting travelers worldwide.
Silva said at least two TNA stars were willing to take a short U.S. flight and then drive more than 600 miles to reach the event.
The revised matches have not been announced for the first Destination X since 2017, a returning pay-per-view built around TNA’s X Division and Ultimate X bouts.
