UPDATE: What’s The New Plan For RAW & SmackDown?

Jan 26, 2015

UPDATE x 2: We have confirmed that WWE SmackDown will broadcast LIVE from Hartford, CT on Thursday night. The Boston event has been moved to June 27th and will now be a house show. Tonight’s RAW will likely feature Michael Cole and JBL in WWE’s Stamford, CT studios doing a “best off” type show featuring video packages, promos, etc. It’s possible that some of the talent will be going to WWE’s Studios as well to discuss what happened at last night’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

UPDATE: The following is an article from TMZ.com:

The massive blizzard in the Northeast will NOT stop “Monday Night Raw” — despite the fact it was scheduled to go down in Connecticut … with WWE telling us they have a Plan B!!

A rep for WWE tells us … they will not tape the show from the XL Center in Hartford — instead, “the WWE will emanate live tonight from its studios in the Stamford world headquarters.”

The WWE has not said if there will be any live matches — but it’s not out of the question.

Earlier today, the Governor of Connecticut said the roads will be closed after 9 PM … which would be in the middle of RAW’s telecast … and leave everyone in the XL Center stranded.

The WWE says it’s not leaving Hartford out in the cold — and will push the scheduled event to Thursday.

WWE has also posted the same message that the XL Center posted moments ago (see below) on their official WWE.com website.

So it looks like Hartford, CT gets SmackDown on Thursday night meaning SmackDown will air LIVE on the SyFy network. The Boston event has been moved to June 27th and will be a house show.

ORIGINAL: The following is from the XL Center Facebook page and WWE.com:
