Former TNA Wrestler The Amazing Red was announced and scheduled for the TNA X-Division pay per view entitled X-Travaganza. Both TNA and Red have been very quiet concerning Red not wrestling at the event. One source indicated to me that it's possible that Red may have withdrawn a few days earlier partly due to the TNA vs WWE lawsuit.
Red who recently had a tryout match with the WWE was spoken very highly of by WWE announcer Matt Striker and Bill DeMott. Striker is said to be the one who managed to get Red his tryout with TNA. Further details are that Red actually didn't have a tryout or a dark match at all mainly due to the TNA vs WWE lawsuit.
During the tryout there was first a miscommunication regarding Red. One agent and Ryback originally believed Red and two other opponents were going to be used as squash characters for Ryback for the WWE No Way Out Pay Per View. Bill Demott interjected and told Ryback that Red was not going to be a squash character and was here for something else. After a short talk with Demott, Red was notified that no current or former TNA talent could be signed to contracts because of the pending legal situation with TNA. Red was allowed the run the ropes and show off a handful of moves but no formal tryout or dark match was ever offered to him. It is believed that WWE did have intentions to sign Red to some form of contact, be it for the main roster or for WWE's long rumored cruiser-weight show.
The TNA lawsuit against the WWE was dismissed just 3 days before the TNA X-travaganza pay per view taping which leads some sources to believe that Red felt the need to withdraw himself from the event in hopes of landing a more lucrative WWE contract. Red recently participated in two interviews since the PPV tapings. Both interviews seemed to have intentionally left out any mention of the TNA X-travaganza tapings and Red has refused to publicly mention anything about no-showing the event
