– It was announced on tonight’s WWE Main Event that due to contractual issues, no new episode will air on the WWE Network next week.
Instead, Santino Marella’s Royal Rumble Lottery Spectacular will air next Tuesday night at 8pm EST. Apparently this will see Superstars draw their numbers for the 30-man Royal Rumble main event.
Main Event is not airing because of WWE’s existing deal with the Sky network. With the WWE Network launching in the UK and Ireland on Monday, they are unable to broadcast Main Event into those countries due to the Sky deal. WWE Network is unable to block certain content based on location.
PWInsider reports that there’s no estimate yet on when Main Event will return to the WWE Network.
