You need to stay safe. Last night, Raw emanated from the Simmons Bank Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas. However, while the show seemed to go off without a hitch, several WWE superstars had travel issues getting to and from the arena due to some nasty weather in the area.
According to a report from PWInsider, several WWE talents and crew members faced significant travel challenges, with some unable to take flights and having to resort to driving after being stranded at airports. Many individuals are currently grappling with flight issues as they endeavor to return home from Little Rock, Arkansas, following the latest events. This has resulted in some individuals having to drive to other cities immediately after Raw, in the hopes of securing alternative routes home, bypassing the Little Rock or Hot Springs Airports.
Johnny Gargano posted the following story on social media, detailing his crazy schedule over the past 24 hours:

Editor’s Opinion:
Now this is some dedication! I’ve recently moved to the Little Rock area and can tell you that I completely understand these travel woes. My wife and I discussed going to the show, but we didn’t want to take the risk of being on the icy roads. Shout out to all professional wrestling superstars who do what they do to entertain the fans!
