With an unarmed eye, A double taping of AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision in Utah last night went off without a hitch. But according to Dave Meltzer, there were a few Chris Jericho Rock N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea hitches when the show was set up. Show review “Wrestling Observer Radio”, Meltzer revealed that the difficult travel schedule for the flyers from Sailing to Utah forced AEW to reschedule and change their plans for Dynamite and Clash.
“Most of the shows were done on the fly and rearranged because they were having trouble getting people from the pier to Salt Lake City the day before,” Meltzer said. “So they docked in Miami and they had to get them to Salt Lake City. It had similar problems. So I know the show was rearranged, literally, at the last minute because they didn’t know who was going to be ready on time and who wasn’t going to be ready on time.
Meltzer did not elaborate on which talents may miss the show due to travel concerns or what plans AEW has had to change. Despite the problems several talents who appeared on the Jericho Cruise were able to star at Dynamite and Collision, including AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Mone, Andrade El Idolo, The Cut, The Death Riders, Persephone, FTR, Motor City Machine Guns, Speedball Mike Bailey, AEW National Champion Tommaso Ciampa, Blake Christian and AEW. Additionally, all of the matches that AEW advertised in the days leading up to the show went ahead as planned.
