Khan Confirms Flight Delays Reshaped AEW's Nov. 11 Show

AEW President Tony Khan confirmed on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, that travel problems changed AEW's three-hour Dynamite and Collision special on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah. He spoke on the media call ahead of Full Gear. Fightful's Jeremy Lambert asked him about it. We did not hear the call. The quotes below are as printed by Fightful.

What Khan said

Khan said: "You've got numerous flight issues and you're trying to put a great wrestling show together, imagine how I feel at the end of the night when I think it was a great show and everything came together great." He said some people "had some issues getting out" and that "that's why it's good to have contingency plans."

On the main event, he said: "Hyan arrived at the arena as the show was starting. So by putting that match in the main event, first of all, it's a great championship match in the main event." He said he wanted to give her the opportunity. He also said others, "particularly in the Collision part," arrived as the live show was starting, and that some "people that were stuck in the airport" still wrestled or did interviews. He named Nick Wayne as one who arrived late in the night and said he "really wanted to feature" him.

What this adds

On Nov. 12, Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that "a lot of the show was done on the fly and rearranged" because talent was struggling to get from the Jericho Cruise, which docked in Miami on Wednesday morning, to Utah. Meltzer did not say who was affected. Khan has now named Hyan and Wayne and said the network moved some things back. His answer is on the record, so this story is CONFIRMED.

Our results story has Queen Aminata keeping the TBS Title over Hyan and Skye Blue, and Nick Wayne interrupting the ROH tag match. Fightful's write-up lists Maya World, not Skye Blue, in that match. We follow AEW's recap, which our results story used. Khan's quote does not name the opponents.

What to watch next

Full Gear is Saturday, Nov. 14. Khan did not say, in the quotes printed, whether any Full Gear plans changed.
