AEW had to make a last-minute change to Saturday’s Full Gear Tailgate Brawl in Phoenix, Arizona. Maya World was unable to make it to the city in time, and the Triple Threat match for the TBS Championship between champion Queen Aminata, Persephone, and World became a Fatal 4-Way, with Hyan and Skye Blue replacing World.
World missed out due to the FAA stopping all departing flights in the U.S. on Friday after a communication failure at air traffic control centers. World wrestled at a West Coast Pro Wrestling show in San Francisco on Friday night.
During the broadcast, Excalibur explained that Tony Khan decided to turn the match into a Fatal 4-Way. Shortly before the show, Khan said that everyone on the main card had made it to Phoenix, but that changes would be made to the Tailgate Brawl, though he didn’t say what they would be.
According to Bryan Alvarez, AEW was sending charter flights to pick up a handful of wrestlers who still hadn’t arrived in the city.
Aminata pinned World’s partner Hyan with Off With Her Head to retain the title. Aminata also defeated Hyan and Skye Blue on Wednesday’s three-hour Dynamite and Collision special.
World was looking to regain the TBS Championship, which she lost to Persephone at All In in August after a brief 35-day reign.
