Why it matters
For WWE, the viability of major events like Money In The Bank depends on operational stability. If the storm's track shifts and New Orleans becomes significantly impacted, the company faces potential disruption to its ability to travel to the city or host the event, which could impact revenue and scheduling.
Coastal states are currently under threat from Tropical Storm Isaias, which is expected to make landfall as a Category 2 hurricane somewhere from far southeast Louisiana to northwest Florida Friday night, according to the latest forecast.
