A nationwide ground stop ordered by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has disrupted plans for TNA Wrestling’s Destination X pay-per-view, scheduled to take place in Edmonton on Sunday.
The event is set for the Edmonton Expo Centre, and TNA says the show will go on despite travel problems caused by the FAA halting flights for several hours on Friday. Some wrestlers originally booked for the card have been affected, forcing changes to the lineup.
TNA Wrestling president Carlos Silva addressed the disruption in a statement posted to X.
“After a wild 24 hours, we are really excited for the returning Destination X on Sunday afternoon. 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.”
Silva said two TNA stars have offered to take a short flight within the U.S. and then drive more than 600 miles just to make it to the Edmonton show.
“That said, I’m proud of the way all at TNA Wrestling are banding together to deliver what will be a great show. In fact, we have two stars offering to take a short flight within the U.S., then drive more than 600 miles, just because they want to be a part of Destination X.”
TNA has said specific changes to the card have not yet been announced, but the company insists the event will proceed as planned at the Edmonton venue.
Sunday’s show marks the first time Destination X has been held since 2017. The event has long been a signature fixture for TNA, dating back to the 2010s, built around showcasing the high-flying wrestlers of the promotion’s X Division.
Among the event’s featured bouts is the Ultimate X match, in which competitors climb above the ring and navigate a system of ropes strung between its four corners, typically to retrieve a championship belt suspended at the centre. Ultimate X matches determining future contenders for the TNA Knockouts World Championship and the X Division Championship were scheduled for Sunday’s card.
