SmackDown Invade Monday Night Raw Tonight, It's Official & Undertaker Will Be There

From WWE.com:
With the volcanic eruption in Europe stranding the majority of the Raw roster, WWE’s flagship show is going blue. Even as the cast of the film MacGruber takes the reins as special guest hosts for the potentially cataclysmic show in East Rutherford, N.J., Triple H prepares to share the ring with several top SmackDown Superstars.

Although Raw is trapped in Belfast, Ireland, the SmackDown Superstars were able to arrive in Newark by charter early this morning, after traveling through the night by bus to get to a place where they could take off.

Can the cast of MacGruber control the molten-hot situation that could erupt on Raw? Find out tonight at 9/ 8 CT only on USA Network.

For the first time since the fallout of Wrestlemania weeks ago, The Phenom makes a live appearance tonight on Monday Night Raw. How will the Undertaker and his fellow SmackDown Superstars have their impact felt, live on the USA Network.

Ash Cloud Update & Maryse Blogs on her Experiences in Europe so far

Flight recrictions in and out of the UK have now been puched back to 7am BST/2am EST Monday Morning, making it even less likely that the Raw Crew will make it to the Monday Night Tapings 19 Hours Later. Here is the latest from the forecasts of the Cloud around Europe and the Raw Crew seem to be right in the heart of it. Again Belfast is the little red dot:

This is from Maryse's Blog: http://www.frenchkissmaryse.com/
"wow just one freaking word, WOW… Traveling is sometime easy and sometime hard, but this tour was unbeleivable, its one after an other….and its not done yet, im still in Ireland…not back to New York til a few hours maybe a few days…well the tour was going good, then a volcano in iceland erupted, gosh …… leaving france after the show 3 days ago we had a 3 hrs bus ride, then a ferry for 2 hrs, then a 8 hrs bus ride, then we stop for an hour to relax our legs and stretch, then a 3 hrs bus ride to a ferry for 2 hrs then a 2 hrs bus ride then to the arena for the show…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not to mentionned that before the show in france that day we did a 6 hrs bus ride …haha then after the show we left and again the same deal, unbeleivable….. my butt was hurting, my back was ohhhhhh, and i had to go pee every 15 mins, ughhh haha, well i went over all the songs in my Itouch probably 25 times, ( i have a lot of songs in my itouch ) lol i never dreamt of sleeping in a bed so bad, today in spa time in ireland, its gonna be great, trying to get myself mentaly ready for whats next, hopefully they will clear the air space soon and we can get a direct flight to New York…..

Even More Bad Updates on Raw Crew Getting Out of Belfast

Again as of this writing, all air travel in UK Airspace including in Belfast where the Raw Crew is, has been totally "shut down" until now the earliest 1AM Sunday Night/Monday Morning and in Ireland that has been extended until Midday Local Time Monday (though Northern Ireland is part of UK, but not definitely in UK airspace). That is also looking like that deadline will be pushed back even further, making it now nearly impossible for the Raw Crew to New Jersey before Monday Night. Here is the latest estimated Ash Cloud Map with Belfast being the Red dot:

Here are some more WWE Tweets:

Kofi Kingston:
"in total limbo right now waiting for the air space to be cleared. On the bright side, there are worse places than Belfast to be stranded in."

John Morrison on his Experiences on the way home:
"while looking for terminal 1 at Madrid Airport: "I think we just went in a circle." " I think we made a wrong turn in Chicago 2 weeks ago.""

Matt Hardy on his:
"Although I feel bad that the WWE had to postpone the Turkey & Austria events for those fans.. Hate we had to miss those shows to get home. Here's the deal-Wake up at 6 am Fri morn, prep, travel, & catch a train at 11 am (5 hrs) Uncomfortable train ride from Hannover, Germany to Zurich, Switzerland that took 7 hrs (12 hrs) Go directly to venue & perform which was 5 hrs (17) Get on a bus for 6 hrs (23) Break, eat, & get the ONLY bus that would take us to Madrid, Spain (24 hrs) spent 18 torturous hours on that bus (42 hrs) to barely make our flight to the States which took almost 10 hrs (52 hrs) Clear customs, get to hotel and a bed took about 2 hrs (54 hrs total) Top that travel story guys!"

Smackdown Crew Back in the States, Raw Crew Are Stuck, And it isn't going to get better any time soon

As of this writing, flight restricted on all air travel has been extended until 7:00pm on Sunday Night and is still expected to continue well into next week as the ash cloud hangs over Europe. Though on the other hand, it looks like the Smackdown Crew have made it back to the USA via Madrid and two cancelled events.

Matt Hardy Tweeted:
"Just landed in Newark, NJ after traveling & working for almost 54 HOURS STRAIGHT!! I have NEVER experienced anything close to this! USA USA! Went through a helluva journey with the BLUE Team traveling/working without a bed for well over 2 straight days-so excited 2 shower & sleep!"

Chris Jericho:
"Just landed in Newark. 47 hrs without a bed but at least we've escaped from under ashened skies..."

Women's Champion Michelle McCool:
"Holy smokes....we made it back to USA! Consensus calculates 56 hours!!!!! This was unbelievable! Cramped shuttle, overheated bus, etc..Some great one liners on our bus ride tho!:)"

Beth Phoneix:
"Thank u to my fellow SmackDown superstars divas and all crew members. We are home safe and I'm very grateful. Sending best wishes and safe travels to the Raw crew. This natural disaster has brought out the strength in the entire WWE company."

And even though he was in the States all the time, Jim Ross weighted in:
"Smackdown crew arrived in nyc @ 1 am Sunday morning. 47 hrs w/o a bed. Now THAT'S a european vacation sans Chevy Chase & Cousin Eddie."

Kofi Kingston, who is on the Raw Tour, didn't really give anything of his situation away this morning:
"sooo...this volcano business is the real deal, eh?"

And just before leaving Europe yesterday night, Mickie James Tweeted this:
"Just got to the airport here in madrid. Phones been dead for hours now... Wow? U don't realize how dependent u r to it until u don't have it... But then again... It was quite peaceful... Time with my thoughts... Reflection is always a good thing... Sometimes u just gotta roll with the punches... "What did u say to the kid Rock? Its not how hard u hit... Its how hard u get hit... And get back up"

Obviously some other Divas have taken their situation bit more lightly, here's the new Divas Champion Eve Torres:
"Thank you for all of your concern for our travels. We don't know how or when were getting back to the states, but I do know one thing... If I'm stuck in Belfast, I'm having a shopping and spa day! The only things to make a girl missing home feel better."

And the former Divas Champion Maryse:
"If we don't make it on time for raw monday we will miss Ryan Phillipe, OMG, cruel intention! I'm freakin out!...... What's the BEST spa in Belfast??????"


Dolph Ziggler:
"Finally back in the USA! I would kiss the ground, if my mouth wasnt so busy already... ;)"

John Morrison:
"Planes, trains, and the worst bus ride ever (23 hours!) our bus could only go 15 mph up hills! Finally back in the USA! Never thought I'd be so glad to be in New Jersey! http://twitpic.com/1gi2xe"

Update on WWE Crew & Superstars Stuck in Europe and How They Can Save Monday Night's Taping

Having just done their last tour date with a second night in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the Raw Crew now are going to find it very hard to get back to the States. As of this writing, further restrictions have been enforced until 1:00pm UK Time on Sunday (which is expected to be extended). The Ash Cloud is now covering nearly all of Northern and Eastern Europe, making all air travel impossible. To be perfectly honest, the Smackdown Crew had a lucky break by cancelling two of their shows and heading south from Zurich to Madrid in Spain to fly back to the States.

Some airlines made policy earlier in the week that they would not fly at all until Monday, which seems in hindsight to have been a good desicision as the days go on and as no one is going anywhere fast. People are being told that flights are likely to be cancelled well into next week.

There has been talk that the Smackdown Crew could cover most of the show on Monday and if needed include recorded segments from superstars that are stuck in Europe, because that would not be any problem to work out.

This is just an idea from me, why don't they try and put together a taping here in the UK, my good if they wanted a crowd, have tickets for £5 or something. The O2 Arenas in London and Dublin are not possibilities. The MEN Arena in Manchester, the site for this year's November UK Tapings is free, but not really, they are going from hosting the European Badminton Championships on Sunday to Torvill and Dean's Ice Skating on Thursday. The Sheffield Arena, where WWE had their last set of Tapings in November including Ricky Hatton guest hosting Raw, is free until the 1st May and to get there from Belfast is easy. Like I said, the amount of people attending wouldn't be slack by any means. They could even have half and half, so live goings on with Monday Night Smackdown and then the Raw guys in taped Matches and Bits back in Europe. Anyway that's just my idea.

Anyway, here is your Ash Cloud Forcast for Sunday, with the little red dot showing the current location of the Raw Crew, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

WWE Raw Crew Struggling to Make It Back to the States for Monday Night

I knew this would happen, thanks to the Ash Cloud over Europe the WWE Raw Crew is going to have problems getting back to the USA for Monday. Raw will do their second straight show in Belfast, Northern Ireland tonight. All flights in and out of the UK/NI are being cancelled or restricted until at least 7am Sunday Morning and things aren't looking any better. The Smackdown Crew flew out of Madrid earlier in the week after driving down from Zurich and cancelling two events in Eastern Europe.
This Photo below, via BBC News Website, shows the area that the ash cloud is estimated to cover at certain times. It looks like that by Sunday Morning and the time that the WWE will want to fly out by, Belfast (red dot) will again be covered by thee ash cloud, not good news for them and the millions others (including my Dad) who can get anywhere in, out or aaround most of Europe.
