Report: Further Details On Terrible Travel Day For WWE Talents

A bad day of travelling for several WWE talents for Raw in Seattle

The April 10 edition of Monday Night Raw had to undergo major rewrites ahead of the show going on the air due to travel woes for much of the roster. Many of WWE's wrestlers live in Orlando, Florida and a flight to Seattle, Washington with several talents on board ended up being heavily delayed which meant the likes of Sami Zayn and Matt Riddle didn't arrive at the arena until the middle of the third hour. A Damian Priest segment to address his attack on Bad Bunny was also pulled from Raw.

PWInsider Elite has reported that in addition to Zayn, Riddle, and Priest, Bianca Belair, The Street Profits and Rhea Ripley were all affected by what was dubbed "one of the worst travel days of late" on April 10 due to multiple delays. The situation only worsened after they arrived in Seattle, though, as WWE booked the talent to return to Orlando that night on Redeye flights which meant they flew across the United States, only to then head back to the airport and fly home hours later. 

PWInsider Elite also revealed that around one-third of Raw had to be rewritten because of the issues and a six-man tag team match that would have pitted the Latino World Order against Judgment Day had to be scrapped. Rey Mysterio faced Finn Balor in singles action instead.
