WWE fans saw an unusual sight on Monday night as Raw briefly went off air due to ‘technical difficulties’.
The company’s production team is on another level when it comes to live entertainment and television – plus their unrivaled video packages – but this week’s broadcast was hit by some issues midway through the show.
The awkward moment came as the Nigerian Giant Omos was making his way to the ring accompanied by MVP.
During his entrance, the feed cut for viewers around the world, with people in the US, Canada and UK all watching on various channels and reporting the issue on social media.
An error message briefly appeared on screen with the USA network logo and an old version of the Raw branding, while the note read: ‘Technical difficulties. Please stand by.’
The outage didn’t last long at all, with the feed returning in time for fans to see Omos pick up an easy win over two local talents to showcase his size and strength.

Despite all signs pointing to this being a legitimate – and minor – blip, fans weren’t so convinced, with plenty suggesting it could be part of a storyline.
One fan admitted: ‘Not gonna lie this took me off guard. Don’t know if it’s part of the show or if it was really technical difficulties.’
‘Raw having technical difficulties during Omos’ segment does not seem like an accident,’ added another suspicious viewer.
A third person suggested: ‘This was no coincidence that the #WWE had a we are experiencing Technical Difficulties for #WWERaw during Omos entrance. I think it’s an angle they are doing for #Omos.’
Meanwhile, others pointed to the possibility of Bray Wyatt being involved, with rumours regularly circulating as fans continue to desperately hope for a return following his shock release last summer.
A fan said: ‘This is a GIANT reach, but what if the technical difficulties was Bray. It happened during OMOS’ match. He’s a giant. Bray referenced giant killers. Coincidence? Probably yeah. But it would be VERY cool!’
We’ll have to wait and see!
WWE Raw airs Monday nights at 1am on BT Sport 1.
