Joe Tessitore misses WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event due to travel issues
Joe Tessitore was unable to make it to Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Stephanie McMahon opened Saturday’s show in Montreal and revealed that due to ongoing winter storm conditions across North America, Tessitore was unable to be there and is currently stuck at an airport in Detroit, Michigan. McMahon went ahead and opened the show before throwing it to the show’s intro.
Tessitore on Friday was calling the action for the first-ever Zuffa Boxing card in Las Vegas.
The winter storm affecting a swath of the country this weekend has caused some promotions to change their plans. AEW Collision was originally set to air live on Saturday in Texas, but was canceled on Wednesday and matches were instead taped following the live Dynamite in Orlando.
According to a Fightful report, WWE representatives said there are “options, backup options, and backup backup options” for travel this week. Following Saturday Night’s Main Event in Montreal, WWE will head to Toronto for Monday’s Raw. They will then travel to Saudi Arabia for SmackDown on Friday and the Royal Rumble the following day.
