WWE Prepares Contingency Travel Plans For Royal Rumble Amidst Severe Weather Forecast

With heavy weather events forecasted to hit parts of the East Coast, WWE is implementing strict contingency plans to ensure the “Road to Royal Rumble” proceeds without interruption. The company is currently facing a logistical gauntlet, with a show in Montreal tonight followed by a trip to Toronto on Monday, all before talent and staff fly to Saudi Arabia for Friday Night SmackDown and the Royal Rumble event.

Given the potential for travel chaos, Fightful Select reached out to WWE officials regarding the schedule. Representatives responded confidently, stating that there are “options, backup options, and backup backup options” in place to guarantee that all key personnel arrive at their destinations. The company isn’t taking any chances during this crucial stretch of the calendar.

To mitigate risks, a number of talent and staff are reportedly traveling overnight from Montreal to Toronto to get ahead of the storm systems. With the Royal Rumble weekend shaping up to be one of the most significant in years, WWE appears to be going to great lengths behind the scenes to prevent any weather-related disruptions from derailing their momentum.
