FAA airspace shutdown disrupts plans for Full Gear 2026

The FAA shutdown of airspace over the United States wrecked some havoc for AEW and its plans for Full Gear, and while the main card was unchanged, a couple of plans had to be altered for the Tailgate Brawl due to some folks who did not manage to get in town in time.

Addressing the issue in the post-show conference with reporters, AEW President Tony Khan said that they had to hire three private plans to get everyone on the main card to Phoenix after the FAA lifted the suspension.

Khan said that Maya World, who was originally in the Tailgate Brawl match for the AEW TBS title, was not able to be there and had to be replaced by Skye Blue, while Renee Paquette also did not make it to Phoenix due to travel issues.

In related news, the FAA shutdown also had effect on tonight’s TNA Destination X pay-per-view, with some changes expected to happen due to travel disruption.
