WWE.com Brock Lesnar with the WWE Universal Championship.
WWE’s Monday Night Raw has encountered some technical glitches this week, with this interrupting an opening promo by Big Cass.
At the beginning of July 10th’s show, while Big Cass was talking about having beat up Enzo Amore at Great Balls of Fire, the video feed cut back to a few moments earlier and replayed several seconds that viewers had already seen. Several minutes later, the same thing happened a second time.
On Twitter, hundreds of users began to observe these skips, and they seem to have been seen by virtually everyone.
What was that? There was a little skip thingy.
Just did it again. They repeated a part.
What is this, the WWE Network?
is raw broken today? just had a skip and a repeat of a scene #RAW
Was there just a skip in the feed, or am I imagining things? #Raw
If you’ve been seeing this on your show tonight, then nothing is wrong with your cable or your Internet; it seems to be a problem on the WWE’s side, or possibly on USA’s side.
By the end of Big Cass’ segment, the skips seemed to have stopped, but it remains to be seen whether any more will pop up throughout tonight’s show.
It’s rare to see issues with the broadcast during a WWE show that airs on USA like Monday Night Raw. There are occasionally hiccups with the WWE Network’s live stream, though, and so viewers tonight briefly felt like they were watching something on that streaming service rather than on actual television.
If you missed anything in the opening segment due to the technical issues, the gist was that Big Cass feels great about destroying his former friend Enzo Amore at Great Balls of Fire. Cass put up videos and photos on screen showing Enzo in pain, and he went on to declare that now that he’s no longer being held down by Enzo, he’s going to rise to the top because no one is bigger than him. Right on cue, Big Show entered, and he and Big Cass brawled for a few moments before Cass retreated.
