I fell asleep watching, I see I didn't miss anything of worth.
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.

Rollins borrowed his suit from Lil Flip.
