FIRE DEPARTMENTS CALLED TO RAW AFTER PYRO ACCIDENT CAUSES FIRE, DOORS STILL NOT OPEN FOR LIVE BROADCAST

We are still working on details, but a number of local fire departments have been called to the site of tonight's Raw in Cincinnati, Ohio, The U.S. Bank Arena.

Several sources have confirmed that a pyrotechnic accident led to a fire on the Raw stage. No one was injured in the accident, which was described by one person as an "awesome, loud, frightening moment."

Thousands of fans are still waiting outside to be let in the facility as of this writing as doors will not be opened until everything is given clearance to go forward and the Arena's staff and security are back in place.

The scene outside the venue is described as chaotic as a Reds game is about to take place next door to the venue as well.

Raw is scheduled to go on the air live at 8 PM so we could be in for a pretty interesting opening if the venue isn't cleared to let the audience in and have the show go on as scheduled.
