#3. WWE RAW is canceled - January 26th 2015

The show must go on and WWE has been able to push through a pandemic in recent years to continue to provide the WWE Universe with their weekly dose of wrestling action.

If a pandemic wasn't able to stop WWE, it's hard to imagine a snowstorm being able to back in 2015.

A travel ban was imposed on the state of Connecticut the day after the 2015 Royal Rumble match, which meant that superstars were unable to make the trip to the show.

The episode instead featured interviews as well as replays from The Royal Rumble the night before. This was only the second time in history that the company had canceled their flagship show.

The first was back in June 2007 following The Chris Benoit tragedy. The company initially aired a tribute to the former champion before later pulling the episode.

Also on this day, Batista won the 2014 Royal Rumble match by last eliminating Roman Reigns, who was taking part in his debut Rumble match.
