Details On ‘Countless’ WWE Travel Issues

WWE

WWE hasn’t been able to avoid the weather in the US the past few days, and it’s had a big impact on talents’ travel situations.

WWE held Raw on January 15 in North Little Rock, Arkansas where it was so cold you could see people’s breath during backstage interviews at times.

The coldness at the venue wasn’t the only issue, as even getting there was a struggle for the crew.

As reported by PWInsider, many talents ended up having to drive in because they weren’t able to catch their planned flights and ended up stranded at airports.

Travelling out seems to be proving just as much of an issue as travelling in, as some have already reported having issues catching flights.

Others have opted not to even attempt to fly and are driving out because they reckon it’ll give them a better chance of getting home that way instead of relying on air travel.

Johnny Gargano documented the travel issues he had getting to Raw along with Tommaso Ciampa, Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell on Twitter, writing:
