On today, solo Sunday news, WWE is braced for major travel issues.

Sammy Zane cements his Royal Rumble spot.

A former WW name was backstage at recent AEW shows and AEW's Juice Robertson is not medically cleared for action.

Hello and welcome to What Culture Wrestling, the solo Sunday News, myself, Andrew Pollard.

I hope you good, I hope you well.

I hope your weekend is going as well as possible. Up the two goals and injury time to win it, Reds. That was all I will say here. Right, starting things off today with the heavy weather that's impacting large parts of the United States and wider North America, I guess. Now, firstly, for anybody impacted by this weather, stay safe, look after each other.

Now, a quick look at the news as a state of emergency has been declared in multiple states from the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico to the east coast with approximately 140 million people,

roughly 40% of the US population under weather warnings at the moment.

Now, I'll come to some of the reports I read this morning,

it's possible to get frostbite in under 10 minutes in certain parts of Minnesota and North Dakota, wind chill temperatures, as low as minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit, minus 46 degrees Celsius. Now, in terms of wrestling, this is not a weather report, of course, but in terms of wrestling, AW already called off a last night scheduled collision show. That was going to be in Arlington, Texas. That was due to weather conditions. They instead called an audible on Wednesday and take collision at the same time as they were doing dynamite. Now, for WWE, they were in Montreal, Quebec, Canada last night. The Bell Center, to be precise. And they're in Roar will in Toronto, tomorrow, the Scotia Bank Arena, and then the company heads over to Saudi Arabia for the Royal Rumble, and also for the Go Home Smackdown, I guess, while the Rumble go home smackdown, of course. And I did think that they were having ROR over there, but nope, they are flying back to the US with the post-rumbull-Rour taking place in Philadelphia.

Now, given the extremely harsh weather conditions, the weather warnings, the weather right now,

but also the weather that's expected to continue or intensify over the coming days.

FIFO Select reached out to WVE to ask if their travel will be impacted or by this,

whether their events will be impacted.

Now, on that front, Fyphor was told told that WBE has options in place, has backup options,

and also has backup options.

Now, that's surely going to make sure that their schedule is not interrupted.

This report also adds that a number of talents were immediately heading from Montreal last night to Toronto overnight, just basically making sure that they'll

be in Toronto with plenty of time to spare before tomorrow's edition of Roar.

So by all accounts, WWE is extremely prepared. The backup options in place if needed, so the weather

shouldn't impact tomorrow's Roar or the shows in Saudi Arabia. I mean, imagine that. that half your roster can't make it to read for the rumble. That would certainly be something. But more importantly, again, if you're one of those being impacted by this weather, or if it's expected to head your way in the next few days, be safe, look out through each other. Stay warm and don't go out unless absolutely necessary. And there's us in the UK where, like, seriously, we have like three or four inches of snow

and the whole country just comes to a standstill.
