Usually, WWE travel issues are less. But according to reports, the April 10 broadcast of WWE RAW did not go as planned. Many fans were curious whether Vince McMahon will be present the following Monday when he returned and was supposedly in command of the April 3 program of WWE RAW. McMahon allegedly made a number of last-minute alterations to the event, and the circumstance was believed to have resulted in a collapse in backstage morale.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Vince McMahon will not be at the April 10 program of WWE RAW, but a number of travel concerns in the morning will create “a lot of changes” to the event. According to Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Pro Wrestling Podcast, 50% of the RAW roster is yet to arrive in Seattle owing to travel concerns, and the event has undergone extensive rewrites.

Corey Graves discussed the travel concerns that some of the superstars were having during the first few minutes of Raw. The Miz vs Matt Riddle was one of the billed matchups for Raw this week that was no longer posted on WWE.com before the program. That bout was set up on Raw last week.

Was Vince McMahon involved in this week’s RAW?

Vince McMahon was not there at yesterday night’s taping of “WWE Raw” in Seattle, Washington. Despite McMahon’s absence, there were reports that the WWE Executive Chairman might remotely influence the broadcast, as was allegedly the case during the previous week’s “WWE SmackDown.” McMahon “went over the original plans” for Monday’s “Raw,” according to PWInsider, but did not order “any massive changes” or rewrites.

According to the article, while there were some “major rewrites” to the performance, they were not initiated by McMahon, who was back at home in Stamford, Connecticut. Instead, the modifications were made owing to travel concerns encountered by WWE performers and crew when traveling to the venue of this week’s show. As a result of logistical issues, Triple H and his WWE creative staff were forced to rework the show on the fly.

According to PWInsider, Monday’s Raw in Seattle was an “absolute travel day from hell” for a huge section of the Raw roster who traveled there. Because many wrestlers reside on the East Coast and in Florida, substantial delays might have a negative impact on a person’s journey.
