Reddit.com user MetsFan4Ever, a former WWE backstage worker who still has ties to people in the organization, provided insight into the atmosphere backstage at Raw today at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan, following last night’s WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs … and Stairs.
According to him, many people in the company are dissatisfied with how the show came off following the successful TakeOver: R Evolution and are hopeful this will lead to creative changes with WWE’s mainline product.
“While many knew it would be tough to top the NXT show, there were people who thought it could be pulled off,” he wrote. “There have been rumblings that some talent knew they couldn’t top NXT so in a silent protest in favor of Triple H, some superstars were described “mailing in” their matches last night. Many are in favor of Triple H and what he has done with the NXT product and feel it is time for Triple H to take the lead on the main roster.”
MetsFan4Ever added that locker room leader John Cena hosted a talent meeting this afternoon that was described as “forceful yet calm.” Cena stressed that a silent protest will not help matters. Instead, Cena feels they should step up their performance in order for their point to be proven.
