WWE had to postpone the post-Rumble "Raw" from Hartford, Connecticut due to the January 2015 nor'easter, marking the first time WWE had to cancel a scheduled "Raw" taping since the Chris Benoit double-murder and suicide and the first time "Raw" had to be moved to another city since 2009. WWE also canceled its scheduled "SmackDown" taping from Boston the following night. WWE decided to have "Raw" come from WWE headquarters in nearby Stamford, Connecticut instead, announcing it would hold a live "SmackDown" on Thursday from Hartford, honoring tickets that would be used for "Raw", while allowing fans in Boston to either exchange their tickets for an upcoming house show on June 27 or obtaining a full refund. The post-Rumble "Raw" showed the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match and the main event of the Royal Rumble, albeit with commercial breaks. Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns, and Daniel Bryan did in-studio interviews with several WWE announcers, such as Michael Cole, Renee Young and Byron Saxton, while Dean Ambrose "walked" to WWE headquarters from Hartford due to the statewide 9 PM travel ban.
