The real chaos on “AEW Dynamite” last week didn’t happen in the ring—it happened on the roads. That’s right, folks: Omaha, Nebraska, known for its steak, Warren Buffett, and now apparently BLIZZARD-DRIVEN NO-SHOWS.
According to Fightful Select, former AEW World Trios Champion Jay White was among the unlucky talents who couldn’t make it to the March 13th tapings due to a good ol’-fashioned Midwestern whiteout. Yes, a blizzard. Not a storyline injury. Not backstage drama. Not even Tony Khan’s Twitter account. Just snow.
White missed both Dynamite and the Collision tapings, officially making him the first wrestler taken out by Mother Nature’s booking committee. And honestly, she’s ruthless. Snowed in and title aspirations frozen solid, White was last seen on the March 12th episode of Dynamite, explaining that he definitely didn’t hit Cope (Adam Copeland, but cooler sounding) with a briefcase at Revolution—a claim more believable than some wrestling contracts.
Meanwhile, Jon Moxley, likely fueled by nothing but caffeine and spite, drove several hours through a snowstorm just to bleed in Omaha. He defended the AEW World Championship against Cope in a Street Fight, featuring foreign objects, impalement via “Spike” (a bat filled with nails, not a guy named Spike), and the usual “call the EMTs but make it theatrical” vibes.
Elsewhere in the snowed-in suplex circus:
-
Mercedes Moné retained her TBS Championship against Billie Starkz, because billion-dollar branding waits for no storm.
-
Megan Bayne yeeted Kris Statlander into Toni Storm at ringside, which is the AEW version of sending a “u up?” text. Naturally, Storm challenged Bayne to a match at AEW Dynasty, because nothing says “healthy rivalry” like surprise body slams during commentary.
In conclusion: Jay White vs. Travel Logistics = 0-1. The blizzard wins this round. Someone get that storm a TNT Title shot.
