WWE Releases Official Statement Regarding Raw and Smackdown Status Due to Northeast Blizzard

WWE has now released an official statement regarding the status of tonight’s Raw event which was scheduled for Hartford, CT and Tuesday’s Smackdown taping that was scheduled for Boston, MA.  It reads as follows:

Due to the impending blizzard in the Northeast and statewide travel bans, WWE has postponed tonight’s live event in Hartford and cancelled tomorrow night’s live event in Boston; however, WWE will emanate live tonight at 8 p.m. ET from its studios in the Stamford world headquarters.

Ticket Information

Hartford, Conn., XL Center: Tickets for tonight’s show in Hartford will be honored for a SmackDown event this Thursday, January 29 that will air live on Syfy.

Boston, MA, TD Garden: Fans with tickets to tomorrow’s event in Boston will have the option of either exchanging tickets for an upcoming WWE event on Saturday, June 27 or obtaining a refund at point of purchase.

This makes total sense, given the weather forecast.  The New York/Connecticut/Massachusetts corridor is expecting upwards of two feet of snow, so safety first for all involved.
