Triple H praises WWE talent and staff: ‘I couldn’t be more proud or grateful’

Paul “Triple H” Levesque is grateful for all of the work WWE’s talent and staff did to make Monday night’s episode of Raw happen.

Raw took place in North Little Rock, Arkansas last night amid snow storms and harsh winter weather. There were travel and production issues that WWE faced surrounding the show. In a social media post on Tuesday, Levesque praised the work that WWE’s crew did getting through those issues:

I can’t say enough about the amazing job our talent, crew and staff did these last few days.

Through winter storms, blizzards and incredibly tough travel, they did what needed to be done to put on a show for the @WWEUniverse… which included completely redesigning #WWERaw on less than 24 hours’ notice.

They really are the best in the business. To put it simply, I couldn’t be more proud or grateful.

PWInsider reports that Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock “was not structured in a way that could support [WWE’s] current lighting rigs, which hang from the ceiling of the venues, due to concern about the amount of snow sitting atop the arena from the weather conditions [in] Arkansas.” Because of those factors, WWE had to redesign the production of the show. That included using a different lighting truss and stage than normal.

Johnny Gargano detailed the travel issues that he, Tommaso Ciampa, Candice LeRae, and Indi Hartwell dealt with getting to Raw. They arrived in time for the show after making the five-hour ride from Dallas to North Little Rock. There were multiple delays and flight cancelations before they made the decision to drive.
