WWE announced on this week’s episode of Main Event that the show will not be airing next week due to “contractual commitments.” In its place will be a Royal Rumble lottery special hosted by Santino Marella.
The reason for Main Event being pulled until further notice is because Sky has exclusive rights to air Main Event in the UK, where the Network is officially launching next week.
Since that the UK gets the same WWE Network feed as the United States and WWE does not currently have the ability to air different live content in separate geographic regions, WWE will have to work something out with Sky before Main Event gets back on the air.
