WWE Raw absences
Travel woes affected some of the WWE roster on Monday, but that wasn’t it.
Originally, Miz, Riddle, Sami Zayn and Bianca Belair were all scheduled to appear on the show, but it didn’t end up happening. The Miz vs. Riddle match was pulled from the show altogether, though we don’t know who it was that actually ended up missing the show. There were a lot of changes, but it was known by the time the rundowns were handed out that those were due to travel woes.
However, we’re told that several talent that were actually flown in to Seattle and told that they weren’t needed for the show on Monday. Some were told almost right after they landed.
Vince McMahon was not at the show and was not scheduled to be at the show.

Probably weather related

2023-04-11 19:35:12 +0000 UTCSo the Riddle and Zayn save at the end was genuine and actually them showing up late

2023-04-11 03:38:01 +0000 UTCThis is a triple h show all the way. Only thing that feels like Vince is some of the lingo being used
Anthony W Sharp
2023-04-11 02:28:09 +0000 UTCI'm starting to think that Vince doesn't have to physically be there to ruin things

2023-04-11 02:14:57 +0000 UTCIt's been subtle there for a couple months. Bayley makes choices for Kai and SKY. Causing bad things to happen. Finally tonight some pay-off with them standing up to Bayley. If people didn't notice which is understandable given the booking of DC, go back and watch their segments since 1/02 RAW including RAW Talk 2/20 which should have been on RAW itself.

2023-04-11 01:55:22 +0000 UTCShew. That match was NOT great.
2023-04-11 01:14:07 +0000 UTCMan, I like all 4 of the competitors, but that tag team title match was ROUGH.

2023-04-11 01:04:25 +0000 UTCLegendary
2023-04-11 01:02:27 +0000 UTCJust because Vince isn't there in person doesn't mean he's not on the phone.

2023-04-11 00:50:24 +0000 UTCWell... kinda. NXT had pro wrestling and they kinda had to let them show it. Lol... well except WALTER.

Marshall Enloe
2023-04-11 00:24:57 +0000 UTCThe Saudi "travel issues" led to one of the best SD's in history imo

2023-04-11 00:24:27 +0000 UTCOof this is gonna be rough
Marshall Enloe
2023-04-11 00:15:01 +0000 UTCWhat were the travel issues SRS?
2023-04-11 00:06:00 +0000 UTCThis run down seems fine for a two hour show, not a three hour.
