WWE cancels show; veteran says "fans finally spoke up" (Exclusive)

WWE had planned a huge wrestling weekend in Tampa, Florida, this coming weekend with four back-to-back shows in the city. The weekend kicks off with the 39th Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24 before hosting NXT Battleground on Sunday.

They planned to follow that up with two more shows, WWE RAW on Monday and then wrapping up the extravaganza with WWE NXT on Tuesday. However, those plans had to be changed as the company has now canceled Tuesday night's show following reports of low ticket sales.

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo responded to the report on The Wrestling Outlaw on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge. Russo claimed that he was 'happy' this happened, as it shows that the fans are responding to the company's high ticket prices by not going to the show.

"I'm happy about this. I look at this as the fans finally spoke up. The fans finally said no, bro. Like four shows in four nights, no. We can't go in the backyard and pick the tree, man. The money tree ain't in the back. And I think that's a positive thing, Chris, because if it makes them go back and rethink their ticket prices, that's a freaking win for the fan base," Russo said.

While the NXT show at Yuengling Center had to be canceled, the location will still see three very packed events this weekend. Saturday Night's Main Event will see stars like John Cena, Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins in action. Meanwhile, both NXT Champions and TNA World Champion Joe Hendry will be in action at Battleground.
