Ongoing weather problems in Canada led to several WWE stars missing tonight’s WWE Saturday Night Main Event broadcast. Ahead of the event in Montreal, WWE reportedly arranged backup plans to address these weather-related challenges.
One immediate change was Stephanie McMahon hosting the show solo, as her usual co-host Joe Tessitore was unable to attend because of the weather disruptions. The pair last co-hosted the December 13 edition of Saturday Night Main Event, which featured John Cena’s retirement match in Washington, D.C.
Tonight’s card includes four matches, highlighted by a four-way main event featuring Sami Zayn, Randy Orton, Trick Williams, and Damian Priest. This bout will determine who challenges Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship at the upcoming Royal Rumble. Notably, the match between Cody and Jacob never officially began, evolving instead into a brawl around the arena prior to the bell ringing.
Further updates on any additional changes will be shared as they come in.
Fan Take: This weather-related shakeup serves as a reminder of the unpredictability WWE must sometimes navigate, especially when dealing with live events. For fans, it adds an unexpected layer of excitement and uncertainty, potentially leading to spontaneous moments that could shape storylines in new and interesting ways.
