RAW and SmackDown! tapings in jeopardy?

**Xero** · 04-17-2010, 04:36 PM

From F4Wonline.com:

The Raw crew is set to finish its tour tonight in Belfast and then fly back to New York for Raw at the Izod Center. Whether, due to most airports in Europe being grounded, that will be possible has become a big question. The Miz just twittered saying it isn't looking good. Belfast was considered the best place to get out of, based on wind activity in Northern Europe.

The plan was for the crew to charter a flight from Belfast after today's show, but the airports in Northern Ireland have been shut down.

The Smackdown crew is in even worse shape. They have been on a bus trying to get to a place in Europe to fly back home. Chris Jericho twittered that it has been 36 hours since any of them have seen a bed and with no end in sight, joking that these past few days have taken years off his career, and he's looking at doing his retirement match on Monday night against MacGruber. He said the bus was about to break down. They were en route to Spain, but the airport they were looking at taking off from is apparently closed.

No specific decison has been made regarding the taping of Monday and Tuesday's show (scheduled for the Mohegan Sun Casino) at this point.

Edit:
From PWInsider:

The Miz responded to a fan question asking whether he'd get back to the United States in time for Raw at the IZOD Center in New Jersey via his twitter account, commenting, "Not lookin good. Of everything to stop us a volcano really? time will tell.." Miz later responded that he thought he would be stranded in Europe.

The Associated Press featured an article on the volcanic activity in the area has caused problems for the entertainment industry with a WWE spokesperson commenting that they were planning to charter a plane back to the States if possible, as opposed to flying commercial, as they usually do while traveling. Dave Scherer reported that earlier today.
