News on WWE Raw's skeleton crew last week (Patreon)

Things were dire for WWE on Monday.

In addition to Big E, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Omos and others not being at the show, Bobby Roode, Rhea Ripley, Zelina, Finn Balor, Austin Theory all also didn't appear on the program. Producers were also split between the Detroit Raw and the Orlando Smackdown house show -- in which Roman Reigns didn't appear. Adam Pearce, Kenny Dykstra, Jamie Noble, Shawn Daivari, Pat Buck, Michael Hayes, and TJ Wilson all were absent from the list of names we got as producers for Raw, although some of them very well could have been there, we just haven't seen their names as of yet. In addition, Vince McMahon, Bruce Prichard, Kevin Dunn and others weren't at the show, which PWInsider reported was run by Johnny Ace an Ed Koskey.

Those we spoke to said that this was "the most skeleton of crews" that several had seen at a WWE televised show with fans in attendance. One person referenced an ongoing conversation about it, saying that there were many times you'd seem more people around backstage at WWE Performance Center Raws than the December 27 edition
