WWE Forced To Cancel Christmas RAW Taping Due To Low Ticket Sales

WWE planned ahead this year and they arranged a Holiday schedule that will allow their Superstars to be home for Christmas. It turns out that their planned event when they wanted to record RAW is now canceled.

Brad Shepard reports that WWE has canceled their Sioux City event on December 17th. Now they will be recording their December 23rd episode of RAW on December 16th at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

According to a source in #WWE, the #RAW taping for December 17th in Sioux City, Iowa (scheduled to air on December 23rd) was recently canceled by the company due to low attendance. I can confirm WWE sold less than 1,000 tickets for this show.

The #Raw scheduled to air on December 23rd will now be taped on December 16th, after the live edition of #RAW has aired. I’m told the show on the 16th is selling fine. The talent will now have a break from December 21st – 25th, and will be back in action on December 26th. #WWE

This is very interesting because there are still tickets available for this event as major ticket seller websites have it listed. A fan commented and confirmed that he bought front row seats for a show that’s not happening now. The company cited “scheduling conflicts.”
