Johnson pointed out how the outbreak could affect WWE’s post-Christmas tour, including the annual Madison Square Garden show on December 26. Johnson was quoted saying,

The Holiday Tour commences this Sunday 12/26 at New York City’s Madison Square Garden with the Raw brand and The Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida with the Smackdown roster, just four days away,” 

Beyond MSG and Tampa, eight additional tour stops are scheduled across both the United States and Canada. In the United States, the tour hits Detroit for a Monday Night Raw broadcast with other Holiday Tour live events in Orlando, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Buffalo and Washington, DC. PWInsider.com is told that currently, there are no plans to cancel any events in the United States.”
