WWE 'Very Worried’ About SmackDown In Winnipeg Due To Hurricane Ian

WWE is reportedly ‘very worried’ about the September 30th edition of SmackDown, due to Hurricane Ian.

Hurricane Ian has left many people without power in Florida. While this week's edition of SmackDown will take place in Winnipeg, Canada, a large portion of the WWE roster resides in Florida, with the WWE Performance Center located in Orlando.



Per Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is hopeful that talent will be able to travel to the taping. Meltzer said:

“I know WWE’s very worried about Friday’s show because they have so many people from there. The hope was that it’ll be okay and people can get there from Tampa and Orlando to Winnipeg on Friday.”

Earlier in the week, AEW president Tony Khan publicly stated that attending the company's September 28 taping was optional for talent, to allow stars living in Florida to take care of business at home.
