Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Candice LeRae, and Indi Hartwell were able to compete on Monday night's Raw after navigating significant travel issues.

The group dealt with delays and multiple flight cancelations until finally opting to make the five-hour drive from Dallas, Texas to North Little Rock, Arkansas. They arrived late Monday afternoon in time for the episode.

Gargano & Ciampa and LeRae & Hartwell won tag matches on Raw. Gargano & Ciampa defeated Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh, while LeRae & Hartwell defeated Chelsea Green & Piper Niven.

The travel issues were caused by winter weather and extreme cold. In a post on social media, Gargano detailed the experience:

The past 24 hours have been a wild ride for our travel crew/family! For the love of the game, baby! #WWERaw @CandiceLeRae @CiampaWWE @indi_hartwell pic.twitter.com/IXOZOI6S93
