Monday Night Raw (6/8) - 2PM Eastern Start Time

WWE been tryin to compete wit MNF for years. They definitely aint beating a playoff game. Show was dedecenti think the weather played a part too.
 
For those who have asked why WWE's Monday Night Raw looked so different last night, it was due to restrictions the company faced running The Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Arkanas.

PWInsider.com is told that that the venue, which opened back in 1999, was not structured in a way that could support the company's current lighting rigs, which hang from the ceiling of the venues, due to concern about the amount of snow sitting atop the arena from the weather conditions Arkansas and a lot of other places are dealing with this week. Instead, WWE utilized a lighting truss that was supported by towers erected from the ground up.

For similar reasons, WWE used a smaller staging set-up instead of their usual, larger set and adjusted their pyro capabilities.

For those who asked, we are told it was not a case of the company "cutting back" on production elements, but something deemed necessary due to the venue they were running with the weather conditions.
 
- We can confirm PWTorch's report that Seth Rollins was limping backstage after being helped to the back. Those that we've spoken to believe the company will know more Wednesday.

- We're told that there was never consideration given to having Jinder Mahal win or a Damian Priest cash-in for WWE Raw.

- There were numerous wrestlers that battled crazy travel woes in getting to the show.

- We haven't been given an answer as to whether or not the set is permanent, but a new set had been discussed recently.

- Cody Rhodes has moved in front of Gunther on the BetOnline.AG Royal Rumble favorites. CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Gunther, Randy Orton, LA Knight, The Rock, Drew McIntyre, Jey Uso are the 8 favorites.
