Report on sprinkler system going off at WWE taping

In addition to our earlier report noting a tweet by Ricardo Rodriguez that power went out at the Smackdown taping last night in Bossier City, Louisiana, PWInsider.com reports that many WWE personalities had personal items soaked in water when the sprinkler system at the CenturyLink center went off during the filming of a pre-taped segment for Smackdown. Fire alarms and sprinklers reportedly covered the room in what was believed to be triggered by the heat from lights being used for the pre-tape. The taping process of the show was stopped immediately following tapings for Main Event. WWE staff were trying to prevent the water from spreading to other parts of the backstage area including Triple H who was spotted “directing traffic.”
