California wildfires have ravaged Los Angeles County, scorching well over 20,000 acres and displacing thousands of residents. With WWE talents in town for Raw and NXT tapings, many wondered if the fires caused travel delays or disruptions for the superstars. Fortunately, most WWE stars were able to leave the area before the wildfires escalated.
The majority of WWE talent departed on red-eye flights immediately after their shows, ensuring they were out of town before the fires became a major issue. While there may have been minor delays for some, there were no significant disruptions to WWEs travel plans.
There was speculation about how WWE would handle its production schedule if the fires had prevented talent or equipment from moving as planned. In such a scenario, the company probably would have delayed the Netflix debut of Raw by a week and aired a repeat of NXT on The CW Network. New Years Evil would have also been pushed back by a week to accommodate the changes. Thankfully, none of these measures were necessary, and WWEs operations continued smoothly.
WWE may have avoided the worst of the California wildfires, but the devastation in Los Angeles County is far from over. With thousands displaced and resources stretched thin, the impact of this disaster continues to be felt. While the show goes on for WWE, the focus remains on the recovery efforts and the resilience of those affected. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
