Many WWE Superstars Left Stranded in Florida Due to FAA Flight Issues

As previously reported, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered the grounding of all flights in the United States yesterday (Nov. 13). Although the disruptions didn’t affect yesterday’s WWE SmackDown, as the wrestlers had already arrived in Central Florida before all flights were grounded, the issue is now leaving wrestlers stranded in the state.

In a post to his subscribers on X, F4WOnline’s Bryan Alvarez reports that many WWE Superstars are now “stranded” in Florida right now, until “likely Sunday” at the earliest. Last night’s Smackdown was held at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida.

Due to a communication issue affecting air traffic control, the FAA grounded all flights in the U.S. The FAA eventually lifted the grounding later in the day at 8:30 pm ET.

As previously reported, the majority of the AEW roster was already in Phoenix for today’s Full Gear event before flights were halted. However, Bandido wrestled in Mexico City for CMLL. He’s not expected to miss today’s event.
