There They Go Again. WWE Cancels Another House Show.

They’re doing it again. The Wild Card Rule has changed the way things work in WWE as the Brand Split has taken a strong hit. Now that a group of wrestlers are allowed to appear on both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live every single weeks, things are changing in a hurry. Now that the 24/7 Title is active in the company as well, another area is being affected, which is the case again.

According to PWInsider.com, WWE has canceled a third Monday night SmackDown Live house show, this time in Salina, Kansas, likely to allow the SmackDown stars to appear on Monday Night Raw. This has been the case on several American house shows on Monday nights since the Wild Card Rule began so that the stars can appear on Monday Night Raw. The show has been rescheduled for Saturday, October 26.

Here’s what started all the mess. Check out the beginning of the Wild Card Rule:

Opinion: Egads man. How annoying must this be for the SmackDown wrestlers who aren’t going to be included in the Wild Card Rule contingent and now aren’t going to get paid for working the show for the next five months? Or for the fans who had made plans for a show which is being canceled four days in advance? I appreciate the attempt to fix Monday Night Raw, but is bringing Roman Reigns over that important?

How many more shows will WWE cancel? Who suffers the most from all of this? Let us know in the comments below.
