WWE News: Main Event pre-empted next week
Tuesday, 13 January 2015 17:40
It was just announced that due to contractual commitments that Main Event would not be airing next week, and instead there would be a Royal Rumble special hosted by Santino Marella.
The situation is that with the launch of the network in the U.S. this week, Sky holds exclusive rights to Main Event in the U.K. market. So unless WWE creates a separate U.K. feed without Main Event, they won't be able to put the show on the network, unless they strike a deal with Spike.
The hope is that with two weeks until the planned 1/27 show that they can work the issue out.
