Total Nonstop Action Wrestling’s (TNA) Destination X pay-per-view was among the events affected by the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) nationwide ground stop, the company said.
Destination X is set to take place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on Sunday. But the FAA’s decision to halt flights for several hours on Friday caused issues for pro wrestlers who were set to perform at the event. TNA said the show will still go on at Edmonton Expo Center but there will be some changes to the lineup.

“After a wild 24 hours, we are really excited for the returning Destination X on Sunday afternoon,” TNA Wrestling president Carlos Silva said in a statement posted to X. “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 at least two TNA stars offered to take a short flight and then drive over 600 miles just to make the 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,” Silva added.
TNA vowed that the “show must – and will – go on.”
The changes have yet to be announced.
Sunday’s Destination X is the first time the specific pay-per-view has been held since 2017.
Destination X has been a staple show of TNA since the 2010s. The event itself features some of the high-flyers of the X Division. One of the premier matches of the event is the Ultimate X match, which forces the competing wrestlers to navigate a rope that hangs over the four corners of the ring. Usually, a championship is hung in the center.
Ultimate X matches for future TNA Knockouts World Championship and X Division Championship shots were set to take place on Sunday’s card.
