AEW is expected to have everyone in place for Saturday’s Full Gear after a nationwide flight disruption briefly raised concerns over travel to Phoenix.

The Federal Aviation Administration grounded all departing flights across the United States at 3:54 p.m. Eastern on Friday. The restriction was lifted at 8:15 p.m., allowing flights to resume and easing concerns over whether the remaining talent would reach the event in time.

According to Dave Meltzer’s Friday Daily Update, most of the AEW roster had already arrived in Phoenix before the disruption. With flights moving again, he was told everyone was expected to make the show.

“This was scary for AEW although the majority of talent was already in Phoenix but not everyone. With the shutdown over, I’m told that right now everyone is expected to make it for the show. Bandido is working Arena Mexico tonight so would have to fly out after the show but it shouldn’t be a problem at this point.”

Meltzer also discussed the potential impact on TNA’s Destination X event in Edmonton on Sunday. WWE’s Friday show avoided the disruption because its talent had already arrived in Central Florida.

“I would think a lot of TNA talent is not in Edmonton since Destination X isn’t until Sunday, but with things clearing up and travel back on, they all should make it as well. The shutdown took place after the WWE talent had arrived in Central Florida so didn’t affect tonight’s show.”

The update follows another difficult week of travel for AEW. Wednesday’s Dynamite in Utah required last-minute changes, with uncertainty over which wrestlers would arrive on time.

Speaking on Thursday’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer explained that those travel problems forced AEW to adjust its plans shortly before the show.
