WWE’s NXT roster is facing a travel headache ahead of this week’s live episode. Thunderstorms in the Orlando area have triggered a ground stoppage at the Orlando airport, leaving NXT talent stranded with flight delays stretching beyond four hours as they attempt to get to Houston, Texas for Tuesday night’s show.
Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez reported the situation, noting that WWE is actively monitoring things in case talent cannot get out of Orlando in time. “NXT talent apparently stuck at the Orlando airport which is currently at a ground stoppage with flights delayed so far above four hours,” Alvarez wrote. “NXT is in Houston tomorrow and WWE is monitoring the situation in case they can’t get out of Orlando.”
