Trey Miguel worked hard to earn a Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) World Championship opportunity at Destination X and Friday’s nationwide ground stop added to the obstacles.
For a real moment, it appeared Miguel wasn’t going to make it to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, for the match Sunday night against Leon Slater.

As the minutes crept closer, Miguel was still not at the Edmonton Expo Centre.
“Here is the situation we’ve been dealing with over the last 24 hours,” TNA broadcaster Tom Hannifan said on the Destination X pre-show. “Trey Miguel is still in transit. Trey Miguel is still en route to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We are going to keep an eye on this situation.”
Miguel won a ladder match to earn the chance at Leon Slater’s world title. He’s stayed off social media for the most part as he worked his way to The Great White North.
The world title match was far from the only one in jeopardy. Multiple pro wrestlers were unable to get to Edmonton for the pay-per-view.

TNA president Carlos Silva announced Saturday there would be some changes to the card as travel issues persisted through the weekend.
The World X-Cup will be a five-way elimination match featuring Amir Jordan, The Home Town Man, Ricky Sosa, Fabian Aichner and Jason Hotch. Rey Horus had to drop out.
The women’s Ultimate X match for a future shot at the TNA Knockouts Championship will see Tasha Steelz, M by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, Shotzi Blackheart, Kiera Hogan and Shayna Baszler competing for the opportunity. Jada Stone, Xia Brookside and Gabby Forza were out of the match because of the travel problems.
Rich Swann and BDE were also casualties of the travel woes as they were forced out of the men’s Ultimate X match. Joe Alonzo, John Skyler, KC Navarro and Cedric Alexander will be in the event with a future X Division Championship shot on the line. A.J. Francis also said during the pre-show he was going to be in the match.
Even as travel problems plagued the show, Destination X is still poised to be a great show to cap off a fantastic weekend of professional wrestling.
The post TNA’s Trey Miguel working his way to Canada for Destination X title match despite travel chaos appeared first on Fox News.
