As of this writing, Jeff Jarrett is still on an indefinite leave from Impact Wrestling but that he has continued to take independent bookings. On Friday, he noted on Twitter that he was on his way to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for a booking with Real Canadian Wrestling. It looks like he made it to Friday’s appearance but, according to the promoter, Jarrett left Canada on his own accord and will not be appearing at his scheduled booking on Saturday night.

RCW promoter Steven Ewaschuk posted the following statement on Facebook:

JEFF JARRETT will not be appearing at Rise of Legends: War Games tonight in Edmonton.

RCW has the unfortunate news to report that Jeff Jarrett will be not appearing at tonight’s event in Edmonton due to reasons beyond the company’s control as Jeff Jarrett has boarded a plane and left the country on his own accord this morning. Jeff Jarrett did appear last night in Calgary at the RCW event but again has chosen to leave the country due to his own issues.

there will be a special announcement at the start of tonight’s event to explain the situation and details of Jeff Jarrett’s cancellation.

The show will still feature a huge 8 man steel cage match between RCW and Top talent. Davey Boy Smith Jr will also still be in attendance and will now be doing the meet and greet with all advance and VIP tickets holders. All VIP tickets will be still be given their front row seat for the event.

RCW would also like to offer anyone who purchased an VIP Package a free ticket to our november event in Edmonton as sign of apology for this unfortunate cancellation of Jeff Jarrett. and any advance tickets holders will be able to get a advance ticket for our november edmonton event tonight for only $10.00

Anyone who would like to receive a refund on their VIP ticket can do so at the point of purchase or by contacting the RCW office at realcanadianwrestling@yahoo.ca.

Tonight’s event will be still be action packed event with amazing matches and great talent. So RCW loos forwards to seeing the great fans in attendance.

Once again on behalf of the RCW office and management we greatly apologize to all the great Edmonton Wrestling fans.

best regards

Steven Ewaschuk

Later, in response to a comment on his post, Ewaschuk said, “I understand and your entitled you opinion as you are a paying fan who supports indy wrestling and it’s stars. I personally though highly of Jeff Jarrett as well until yesterday. once again I personally respect your opinions and hope you attend tonights show and enjoy it.”

It’s unclear what the issues are but, needless to say, there are some fans that paid a ticket to see him and are disappointed that he will not be appearing on Saturday’s show. Jarrett has been on an “indefinite leave of absence” from Impact since September and the belief is that he was dealing with substance abuse issues. I hope that those issues are not related to whatever happened in Canada.

What happened with you last night? Can’t believe that you’ve left fans in Edmonton disappointed — Don Ferguson (@SgtHazardPWA) October 21, 2017
