TNA Says Destination X Is On, but the Card Will Change

Summary: TNA said on Saturday, Nov. 14, that Destination X is still set for Sunday, Nov. 15, at the Edmonton EXPO Centre, but that the lineup will change because of travel problems after the FAA ground stop.

The quick version

  • TNA says Destination X goes ahead on Sunday, Nov. 15, at the Edmonton EXPO Centre. TNA President Carlos Silva says there will be changes to the lineup because of travel.
  • TNA did not say which matches change. Silva says two stars offered to take a short U.S. flight and then drive more than 600 miles to get there. He named no one.
  • TNA's own posts still give two different start times, an hour apart in Eastern time.

TNA Wrestling said on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, that Destination X will go ahead on Sunday, Nov. 15, at the Edmonton EXPO Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. It also said the card will not be the one it announced. Fightful and eWrestlingNews both printed the statement. eWrestlingNews says TNA shared it with that outlet. We did not find it on TNA's news page when we looked.

What TNA said

The statement says Destination X is still on "despite numerous travel issues" from the FAA's nationwide ground stop on Friday, Nov. 13. Silva is quoted in it: "After a wild 24 hours, we are really excited for the returning Destination X on Sunday afternoon."

On the card, Silva said there will be changes "to the originally scheduled lineup, forced by travel predicaments that are affecting travelers around the world." He added: "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."

TNA gave no names and no list of affected matches. It said the Countdown to Destination X starts at 4 PM local time and the show at 5 PM local, per the statement as Fightful and eWrestlingNews printed it.

The start time still does not match

Edmonton is two hours behind the U.S. East Coast in November. By our conversion, 4 PM and 5 PM there are 6 PM and 7 PM ET. TNA's Nov. 13 preview on its own site says the Countdown streams free at 5 PM ET and Destination X goes live at 6 PM ET, an hour earlier. The new statement matches TNA's Nov. 9 release, which gave local times only. TNA has not explained the gap. We flagged it earlier in our Ultimate X story and our start times story.

The card as last announced

TNA's Nov. 13 preview lists these matches. Any of them could change.

  • TNA World Championship: Leon Slater (c) vs. Trey Miguel, the main event
  • TNA Knockouts World Championship: Indi Hartwell (c) vs. Shayna Baszler
  • TNA World Tag Team Championship, triple threat: The Nemeths (c) vs. syX vs. Matt Hardy and Moose
  • Men's Ultimate X and Women's Ultimate X, six competitors each
  • World X-Cup final, between the winners of two three-way qualifiers on the Countdown

The three-way qualifiers use Fabian Aichner, Ricky Sosa, Amir Jordan, Rey Horus, Jason Hotch and The Home Town Man, per TNA. See our tag title story.

What was reported before the statement

Before TNA spoke, Wrestling Inc. said Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer believed TNA's talent should have no problem flying in if they had not already. eWrestlingNews, also citing Meltzer, said much of the roster was not in Edmonton on Friday but most were expected to make it. Our earlier story on the ground stop is here.

What we do not know

  • Which matches change, and who is replaced.
  • Who the two stars driving 600 miles are.
  • Which start time is right in Eastern time.
