WWE RAW looked different than usual on January 15, and a new report provides an update.
RAW had a new set on Monday night, but apparently, this change is not permanent. Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that WWE faced restrictions in holding the show at The Simmons Bank Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Johnson writes that the venue’s structure was not structured in a way that could support WWE’s standard lighting rigs. These structures hang up from the ceiling, and there was concern about the amount of snow on top of the arena on Monday. As a result, WWE used a lighting truss, which was supported by towers that were on the ground. Likewise, the company utilized a staging set that was smaller than usual, and they adjusted their usage of pyro accordingly.
The report notes that these changes were not a sign of WWE cutting back. Instead, WWE made changes as needed due to the venue and the weather.
