Hurricane Idalia affecting flights,
I've changed some plans for #AEWDynamite TONIGHT!
Coming off All In, @AEW's greatest night + the most tickets sold for any wrestling show ever,
expect a great Dynamite TONIGHT on TBS!
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer reported that Saraya and Swerve Strickland were unable to attend last night's AEW Dynamite due to illnesses. Meltzer also noted that many AEW wrestlers who live in Florida, including Kenny Omega, couldn’t be able to come out of the state due to Hurricane Idalia.
Saraya became the AEW Women’s Champion by defeating Hikaru Shida, Toni Storm, and Britt Baker in a Four-Way match at All In. Swerve Strickland and Christian Cage were defeated by Sting and Darby Allin in a Coffin match this past Sunday. Kenny Omega, Adam Page and Kota Ibushi were unable to win the Six-Man Tag Team match at All In.
