The Associated Press has posted an article about how some WWE wrestlers might not be able to make it back to the United States for Monday nights RAW due to travel issues on the current European Tour. The report quoted WWE spokesman Kevin Hennessy that its unclear if everyone would arrive in time for the live Raw in East Rutherford, NJ.
The RAW brand has a show tonight in Belfast, Northern Ireland to complete the European Tour before they attempt to fly out on Sunday. According to Hennessy, the WWE wrestlers and crew normally fly commercial, but WWE is trying to book a charter flight to get everyone back to the United States. The AP report focused on entertainment acts that have been affected by the volcano explosion in Iceland that created havoc for airplane travel. The report noted the RAW brand required nearly 17 hours of travel in buses and ferries to make it Belfast.
The Irish Times is reporting that "The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has extended the closure of Irish airspace until 1:00 PM tomorrow due to the deterioration in conditions caused by ash from an Icelandic volcano." They will reevaluate the situation again tomorrow.
