And no. WWE presents a variety of events throughout the week and some of them do not air on television. Occasionally there will be some matches that air at a televised event but do not make the broadcast. These matches often include guest stars from another WWE roster, making it all the more special. Unfortunately, some issues caused one such match to not take place this week.

Unfortunately the honor of main eventing The Garden is not possible tonight. Still haven't taken off. Stuck on a plane in a runway. Very disappointed and apologies to my people. This one hurts. Enjoy the show! #SmackDown I'm sure will be awesome https://t.co/YpVemY2wsZ

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that you do not see happen very often and it’s a case where Priest didn’t do anything wrong. There are only so many things that can be done to make it work and unfortunately Priest didn’t get to work on a rather big show. Thankfully there is nothing wrong with him and it was just a situation that was outside of everyone’s control.
