WWE RAW’s Broadcast Issues on Sportsnet Seemingly Limited Only to Cable Viewers

Canadian fans were left frustrated during the December 2 episode of WWE RAW when viewers on the Sportsnet TV cable channel experienced a blackout starting with The New Day’s 10th Anniversary celebration. However, new details reveal that the issue didn’t impact everyone.

According to multiple readers who reached out to Ringside News, the blackout seemingly affected only cable viewers, while fans streaming via the Sportsnet app reported no interruptions.

The timing of the outage couldn’t have been worse, as the night featured emotional moments and shocking turns, including The New Day’s milestone celebration, which ended with Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston turning on Big E. Cable viewers missed these key developments, along with the remainder of the show, leaving them to rely on online updates to catch up.

Sportsnet has yet to release a statement addressing the issue, which has sparked questions about why the problem was limited to cable viewers.

For those who missed it, WWE RAW delivered a dramatic night, with Big E making a heartfelt plea to reunite with his longtime teammates, only to be rejected in an emotionally charged moment that marked a turning point for The New Day.
