NXT Flights Delayed For Twelve Hours, Hilarity Ensues

We're probably going to see some exhausted wrestlers at Saturday Night's NXT Takeover Brooklyn III special, and you can probably blame Delta for that.

NXT stars (including Adam Cole) were delayed for nearly twelve hours in Florida, as they were all heading for New York Friday. During all of that downtime, many wrestlers and trainers took to Twitter to kill some time, have some fun and complain. That includes Billie Kay and Peyton Royce waking up Johnny Wrestling, and a re-enactment of Aleister Black's entrance.

Hey @Delta myself, @WWEEmberMoon and @JohnnyGargano would be happy with 25,000 miles and platinum status — pic.twitter.com/Gt2OMSQrzt

You can delay our flight, but you can't delay history. We are coming home, #NXTTakeover Brooklyn III. @WWENetwork #Homecoming
