For everyone in @AEW, in case you missed our email, anyone worried about Hurricane Ian affecting your travel or home or your family life, it’s voluntary to come to tv this week.
Anyone affected by the hurricane can take care of business at home, & we hope to see you all next week— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) September 27, 2022
Currently a Category 2 hurricane, Ian is forcing mandatory evacuations in Western Florida, including the Tampa area. Ian is expected to hit major hurricane status (winds of 111 miles per hour or higher) before it reaches the United States.
According to a CNN report, more than 15 million people in the US will encounter at least tropical storm-force winds from Ian, citing residents of Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee, Florida among those who will be affected.
The Tampa area is currently under a hurricane warning, with impact from the storm expected within the next 24 to 36 hours.
