Next week’s edition of Raw takes place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. During the weekend prior to the show, the venue will also be hosting competitions for Professional Bull Riders. The event requires them to truck in a lot of dirt to place on the arena floor. The Sunday event ends at 2PM Pacific time, and the dirt is not estimated to be fully removed until 1PM Pacific time on Monday, just 5 hours before Raw normally airs and 4 hours until the Superstars taping usually begins.

If the crew can not get the set up in time, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a special (smaller) set used on Raw. The Raw crew usually begin setting up the set in the morning, so a few lost hours could prove to be very harmful and create a really hectic environment next week.
