Millions Affected by Storm Including Wrestlers

Naturally, the hurricane’s impact on wrestling is nowhere near as important as the storm’s impact on millions of people but since this is WrestleLamia and not CNN, we felt wrestling fans would want to know about the storm’s effects on the industry.
Speaking of CNN, the news site provided an update on the hurricane:

The promotion ultimately chose to hold the event without fans as pressure mounted on the WWE to follow the quarantine procedures being adhered to elsewhere.
WrestleLamia sends its thoughts and prayers to everyone impacted by Hurricane Ian and will continue following this developing story.
