There's a possibility that RAW could be cancelled. Gov of CT to issue state wide travel ban at 9pm due to super blizzard.

All a work by WWE to deal with the immediate fallout of the Rumble?

WWE will tape TV by hook or by crook such as their contractual commitments to TV companies.

It's ok Vince has booked Reigns to go over the blizzard while asking the blizzard to make Reigns look strong.

Wade Keller reporting that the Smackdown taping is all but cancelled.

Outside of a tragic death this could be one of the worst weeks in Company history.

Smackdown from Full Sail please.

Scary to know Vince can control the weather now, but he's worried Hurricanes are getting over, and is now pushing Blizzards to the moon.

What will they air if Raw doesnt go ahead?

An hour of Network ads, followed by an hour of "You'll like Roman Reigns because I say so", followed by another hour of Network ads.

My guess would be 'chit-chat' from where they record material for the WWE Network.
But they have a few options. They could pre-tape raw at an earlier time. Just send the word out to fans that it's starting earlier. But they could even tape or show it live tomorrow from a different city.

Logistically that would be impossible.

Well the people who cancelled their Network subscriptions and moaned on twitter won`t be watching it anyway....:P

Why's that?

Mr.Nice Guy

If the show didn't go ahead I'm imagine they'd show the Rumble again (:pac:), the WWE Title match, and move the Austin/HHH podcast forward. That would fill three hours.

I actually hope Raw does take place though because I expect them to try and put on a good show to temper the backlash.

CastorTroy

True, this could be like the Raw after Punk left when they didn't give the fans much to boo. Wasn't that in Chicago?

They've rescheduled entire ppv's before :pac:
Such as that famous In Your House that had to be shown days later because they lost power.
If they can't show raw live tonight. They'll show it live tomorrow night. Alot of content providers around the world who show the product.

But I reckon it'll be live tonight anyways. Even if it belts down with snow.

Hes going to Superman punch the storm away from the East coast.

How can they show it live tomorrow night? The USA isn't giving them a 3 hours slot on a Monday and Tuesday night at such short notice.

The PPV could be rescheduled as it was carried on a PPV provider and not a cable network channel. If Raw doesn't go ahead tonight it's not going ahead at all this week. Period.

Reigns just thinks the storm is a hater so he's going to pay no attention to it.

He has some indie dates with Dvon in April but I guess he can just cancell those if he is back

It's all a work guys... it's one big build up for the return of... THE YETI!!!! :eek:

martyos121

According to Twitter, Smackdown is as good as off, so Raw simply must go ahead tonight, they've no choice.

I dont know what the :pac: is for but if you believe they can reschedule this for tomorrow, in another city, and broadcast it live then you have no idea what you're talking about.

Just got an app alert. Celebrity inductee to HOF to be revealed tonight. It's

Actually i just got word that Cena and Reigns are heading to the Eastern seaboard to take the storm on, by getting rid of it, Vince reckons its sure fire way of them getting some cheers.

I never said it was being called off tonight, I just pointed out if it doesn't air tonight it won't air another day live. They will simply run documentary clips in it's place, "mate". :pac:

PWInsider:

Tonight's Raw taping in Hartford, CT will not take place.
Joseph Lopes, who works across the street from the XL Center in Hartford, sent word that WWE's crew are currently packing up the production trucks and that he was told the taping is canceled.

We are told there will be a WWE Raw broadcast tonight, but of what nature, we are not sure. A decision on Smackdown is forthcoming. WWE will be issuing an official announcement on all of this any minute.

CastorTroy

Seems like even Shawn Michaels' former tag partner wasn't happy with the Rumble either.

Wonder what they could show instead. I'd say as someone suggested, they could show highlights of the Rumble to fill time and edit in cheers at the end.

Can see them doing something when normal Raw resume to try work the boos into the story from the off. There will be no ignoring them.

They could show highlights of the entire show, or by my estimation, they could show the world title match around 7 times along with ads. I know which one I'd prefer.

Show has been officially cancelled in Hartford, was going to be a friend of mines first show, poor fella is royally pissed.

RAW isn't on the Network so canceling it makes no difference to watching RAW.

Yep.

And watching if your not a Nielsen family makes absolutely no difference to ratings.

when it Reigns, it pours :P

Mokuba

Allowing (well, being forced to allow) the hate and bad feeling to fester is going to make things worse I'd imagine.

Exactly, gives people much more time to cancel the network since their chance to redeem themselves has been pushed back a week, and even then they'll feck if up.

WWE twitter just posted that raw is taking place

The wrestl..Superstars sorry..are probably all there and the cameras etc. Just won't be any fans!

4 minutes ago.

WWE @WWE
Don't miss the fallout from the #RoyalRumble on #Raw TONIGHT at 8/7c on @USA_Network: http://wwe.me/HWX7y

Mokuba

There'll still be WWE programming on at that time. Trying to get people to watch. Everywhere other than them is saying it's off

Pentecost

It's possible that was a scheduled tweet too

mrkiscool2

Saw a nice little video on the WWE site from after the Rumble where Rusev and Cena had a little confrontation. Hope that gets brought along to Raw!
