That’s a valid reason. Wrestling shows take a lot of preparation and the higher you go in the wrestling industry, the more effort they require. That is certainly true of weekly national television shows, and sometimes there are factors that impact the show that are beyond anyone’s control. That was the case this week as several names missed a television taping due to a serious situation.

According to Fightful Select, several wrestlers missed this week’s AEW Dynamite and Rampage taping due to the impact of Hurricane Ian, which has been ravaging Florida. Two of the names who were unable to make the show were Swerve Strickland and Samoa Joe, with several others likely not being present. Earlier this week, AEW President Tony Khan excused any wrestler who lived in the hurricane’s path from being at the show.

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that you do not see happen very often and what matters most is that all of the wrestlers and their families are safe. You never want to see something like this happen and unfortunately it is something that something has to happen in a situation like this. AEW has more than a deep enough roster to get through a situation like this and hopefully we don’t get any bad news about anyone involved.
