WWE Network Not Airing Main Event Next Week

WWE Network will not be airing Main Event next Tuesday night and Santino Marella’s Royal Rumble Lottery Special will air instead.

As to why WWE Network will not be airing Main Event – is because of WWE’s existing deal with the Sky network. WWE Network will be launching in the UK and Ireland on Monday. WWE Network 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.

Update: WWE Network launched early in the UK and Ireland and is available now.

PWInsider reports that there’s no estimate yet on when Main Event will return to the WWE Network.

Update: The current time frame for Main Event’s return to the WWE Network is late summer or early fall as geoblocking could be put into place by then so Main Event could be blocked in the UK.

WWE will continue to tape Main Event each week due to international commitments. It will also still be available on Hulu in the United States.
