U.S. ground stop leaves TNA’s Trey Miguel working toward Canada despite travel chaos before Destination X title match
A difficult trip to Edmonton
Miguel earned a shot at Leon Slater’s world title by winning a ladder match. He then faced a difficult journey to Edmonton, where Destination X was scheduled for Sunday night.
A nationwide ground stop on Friday added to the travel obstacles. As the event drew closer, Miguel had not yet reached the Edmonton Expo Centre, leaving his participation uncertain.
TNA tracks Miguel’s progress
On the Destination X pre-show, TNA broadcaster Tom Hannifan said Miguel was still traveling to Edmonton. Hannifan said the promotion would continue monitoring the situation. Miguel had largely stayed off social media while making his way to Canada. The report did not say whether he had arrived before the match.
Travel changes the card
TNA had to adjust its pay-per-view lineup because of travel issues in the United States. The World X-Cup was set to be a five-way elimination match. Amir Jordan, The Home Town Man, Ricky Sosa, Fabian Aichner and Jason Hotch were named for the match. Rey Horus had to withdraw.
