After finding out about the news, the WWE decided to reject the planned episode and instead celebrate the life of Benoit. The truth about the double murder-suicide was not yet known to WWE when the program aired live. Following the revelation, the WWE decided not to mention Benoit in broadcasts ever again, and replaced the special tribute show with the "John Cena Recap Show" hosted by Todd Grisham in other countries that the special had not yet aired in.
