WWE RAW: 3 obscure but important details you probably missed (November 11th, 2019)
WWE presented the pre-recorded episode of Monday Night RAW last night from Manchester England and the build-up to Survivor Series continued as the men's Survivor Series team was announced and included Kevin Owens, Ricochet, Randy Orton and team captain Seth Rollins.
AJ Styles will also be looking to ensure that the RAW roster comes out on top when he takes on both North American Champion Roderick Strong and Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in the fourth triple threat match announced involving all three WWE brands.
It was a stacked episode of the show that contained all of the right build-up to Survivor Series, which is now less than two weeks away. Whilst there was a lot to focus on last night on RAW, here are three obscure details that many fans probably missed.
#3 The crowd was definitely edited
Monday Night RAW from the United Kingdom is always pre-recorded a few hours earlier to fit in with the time change, but this time around WWE pre-recorded this week's episode of their flagship show almost three days in advance.
This meant that there was more than enough time for the company to edit out any issues with the crowd, any botches and of course, any production errors. Whilst WWE was able to edit out all of the subtle issues that would have happened on a live show, they were also able to edit in crowd reactions.
It became evident throughout that much like SmackDown on Friday night, the crowd was heavily edited with boos and cheers placed in at random moments when the company needed the crowd to be a little more active than they actually were.
The UK crowd are usually the most active but it appears that this year the crowd was dead for both SmackDown and RAW.
