WWE Postpones January 2022 Canada Tour

WWE have announced the postponement of the tour of Canada that was initially scheduled to take place in January 2022.

A four-show tour, WWE were set to air an episode of SmackDown, an episode of Raw and two house shows from Canada, but the promotion have confirmed in a statement that those events have now been rescheduled to later in the year.

The WWE statement read: "The WWE Friday Night SmackDown live event scheduled for January 21, 2022 at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg has been rescheduled to Friday, September 30.

"The WWE Supershow live event scheduled for January 22, 2022 at the Brandt Centre in Regina has been rescheduled to Saturday, October 1.

"The WWE Supershow live event scheduled for January 23, 2022 at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon has been rescheduled and will now be WWE Live on Sunday, October 2.

"The WWE Monday Night Raw live event scheduled for January 24, 2022 at Rogers Place in Edmonton has been rescheduled to Monday, September 26.

"Tickets are currently on sale through Ticketmaster.ca and all originally purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates."

No reason has been given publicly for the decision to postpone the Canada tour in late January. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has noted that the two television taping shows had good advances so the decision cannot be down to poor ticket sales.

The Friday, January 21 episode of SmackDown will now be held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The Monday, January 24 episode of Raw will take place at the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio.

WWE are set to return to Canada for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic in late December, with live events in Toronto, Ontario and Laval, Quebec.
