WWE in Crisis: Winter Storms Disrupt Travel for Raw & Royal Rumble (2026)

Bad Weather Hits WWE: Travel Chaos and Schedule Changes

Winter storms are wreaking havoc on the wrestling world, and WWE is feeling the impact.

As the United States and Canada brace for bitter cold and heavy snowfall, WWE is facing significant travel disruptions for one of its biggest events of the year. The timing couldn't be worse, as the company is preparing for a major show with a large number of talent and staff traveling to different locations.

PW Insider reports that many flights have been canceled, leading to creative solutions for getting talent to their destinations. Some are traveling in vans rented by WWE, while others are rebooking flights to arrive early. The rest of the roster, scheduled to fly to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the Royal Rumble, are facing a couple of days of being stranded or an early trip to Toronto for Raw before heading to the big event.

Alicia Taylor, the ring announcer for the red brand, won't be making it to Raw this week, and Lilian Garcia will be stepping in for her.

While we hope for smooth sailing and safe travels for all involved, this situation highlights the challenges that extreme weather can bring to the world of professional wrestling. It's a reminder that even the most well-planned events can be disrupted by forces beyond our control.

What do you think? How will this impact the show? Share your thoughts in the comments!
