UPDATE: WWE Reschedules WWE Live Event Dates

UPDATE: WWE announced that the following live events have been rescheduled:

* Friday, August 23 in Bossier City, Louisiana postponed to Sunday, March 22, 2020.

* Saturday, August 24 in Lafayette, Louisiana postponed to Friday, January 17, 2020.

* Sunday, August 25 in Mobile, Alabama postponed to Thursday, March 19, 2020.

No reason was given for the events being rescheduled but Wrestling Inc reports that WWE may want to strengthen their South America tour during those August dates instead of running two separate crews.

Original: PWInsider reports that WWE has cancelled five live events for their RAW brand, which include shows in Bossier City, LA (August 23), Lafayette, LA (August 24), Mobile, Alabama (August 25), Bangor, Maine (August 30) and Portland, Maine (August 31). As of now, a live event on September 1 in White Plains, New York is still on.

It was reported just last week that WWE had been considering cutting back on live events due to expected low attendance. It was said at the time that the shows likely would have lost the company money in the long run due to the costs of putting them on and advertising, especially if there is a lack of ticket sales.
