Bandido has no showed GCW Devil in a New Dress.
Game Changer Wrestling announced that Bandido did not get on his scheduled flight to San Francisco and has not returned messages from the company. He was scheduled to wrestle Nick Wayne at the event.
Effy ended up replacing Bandido as Wayne's opponent.
It appears as though @bandidowrestler did not get on his flight to San Francisco today for tonight's GCW event. We haven't heard from him and he hasn't replied to any of our messages.

We apologize and will do our best to come up with a suitable replacement.
Later, Brett Lauderdale addressed deleting a tweet where he insinuated that GCW spent $900 on a round-trip flight for the former Ring of Honor champion. In his new tweet, Lauderdale stated that he understands the initial statement was insensitive, but he had received communication that Bandido was “fine.
I have heard from several others since deleting my original tweet that have confirmed he is "ok". Hopefully that remains the case.

Regardless, I should have waited to hear from him directly before voicing my frustration.
Lesson learned.
Bandido later apologized to fans for missing the show, taking full responsibility and assuring everyone that he is okay.
Hello to all @GCWrestling_ fans, I just wanna say sorry for not be there tonight in San Francisco! Thank you for all the people to take care about me, Im fine! It was my fault and I hope make up those things as soon as possible see you soon amigos!! ----
