WWE Raw cancelled due to snowstorm
It has been reported that WWE has cancelled its Monday Night Raw event at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. The show has been cancelled due to the looming snowstorm scheduled to hit the Northeast late Monday night into Tuesday.
CNN Breaking News has reported in Twitter that Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy has issued a travel ban beginning at 9pm ET. With Raw airing live at 8pm, it's unlikely that the fans will be able to override the travel ban to attend the event at the XL Center.
