Uncertainty surrounding a potential TNA Destination X lineup change has taken a more optimistic turn just hours before bell time in Edmonton, Alberta.
After initial reports on Saturday suggested that challenger Trey Miguel was virtually ruled out of his scheduled TNA World Championship bout against Leon Slater due to widespread travel chaos, a new backstage update indicates the match may still happen as advertised.
Positive Travel Outlook Ahead Of TNA Destination X
Speaking on the November 15 episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez reported that internal expectations regarding Miguel’s arrival improved significantly as Saturday progressed. While TNA does not appear to be chartering a private jet to fly him into Canada, there is growing belief backstage that he could still make the show in time.
Alvarez shared the following details regarding the situation:
“I was told that early Saturday, it was believed there was virtually no chance he would make it. But then the belief later in the day was that he might make it. So we shall see if that match takes place. They still have quite a while. I don’t think they’re chartering a jet, but there seems to be a feeling that he might actually make it.”
Three Replacements Made To TNA Destination X Ultimate X Match
While Miguel’s status has trended upward, TNA Wrestling is reportedly making major adjustments to the Knockouts Ultimate X match to determine the number one contender to the TNA Knockouts World Championship. The bout was originally advertised to feature Tasha Steelz, M By Elegance, Xia Brookside, Shotzi, Gabby Forza, and Jada Stone.
According to the latest internal rundowns for the November 15 pay-per-view, half of the originally advertised lineup has been replaced:
- Removed From The Match: Gabby Forza, Jada Stone, and Xia Brookside are reportedly no longer listed for the contest.
- Added To The Match: Heather By Elegance, Shayna Baszler, and Kiera Hogan are now scheduled to step in.
- Updated Ultimate X Lineup: If the changes hold, the match will feature Tasha Steelz, M By Elegance, Shotzi, Heather By Elegance, Shayna Baszler, and Kiera Hogan.
TNA officials have reportedly been evaluating which wrestlers can reach Edmonton in time and adjusting the lineup accordingly.
FAA Flight Grounding Forces Card Adjustments Across The Show
Miguel was one of several TNA roster members caught in severe travel bottlenecks following Friday’s nationwide FAA flight shutdown across the United States. Canceled flights and limited connecting routes into Edmonton left multiple matches on tonight’s card up in the air.
TNA President Carlos Silva addressed the logistical challenges on Saturday, confirming that the pay-per-view will go ahead tonight while acknowledging that card changes were unavoidable:
“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.”
