Last week, a previously rumored WWE live event in India scheduled for January 18 was postponed for reasons that were not known at the time. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Sony Six, the WWE television partner in India, decided to postpone the show.

Opinion: This makes sense as Sony Six is going to want something like a WWE live event taking place on as clean a slate as possible.

If it works, good for WWE, but they might have to wait a bit while their TV partner gets ready.
