Multiple members of the WWE Raw roster struggled to make it to a recent taping.
The January 15th edition of the Monday night show was broadcast from Little Rock, Arkansas. As was seen at the top of the show, adverse weather conditions affected the presentation in multiple ways. As was shown outside the arena, heavy snow had affected the area. Along with a stripped-back stage used for the show, Michael Cole noted that attendance was significantly reduced due to the weather as many could not make it to the Simmons Bank Arena.
One of the matches announced ahead of time was Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh teaming up to take on Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. According to Gargano, DIY, Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell all experienced transportation issues.
As recapped by Gargano on social media, their flight from Dallas the day before was cancelled, causing them to frantically find a last-minute hotel room, stay an extra night in Texas and fly on the day of the show.
Arriving back at the airport the next day, the WWE Superstars were informed that their next flight was cancelled. Living up to their tag team name, the group would do it themselves and drove 5 hours to the venue to compete in their respective matches.
