Could this be a hindrance for things such as the midcard, more cinematic type things (such as the Wyatt Sick6), or non-title scenarios such as Braun and Bronson?

    Has it been confirmed yet that its 2h after going to Netflix? I recall the news saying it was 2h at least for these next 2 months until they get to Netflix but I remember confusion about what happens beyond that.

    Assuming it’s just for the next 2mo not much will really happen long term, just a match and promo or two less per show (give or take) and once on Netflix shit goes back to at-least-normal. Women will probably take a hit as per the norm.

    If it extends beyond the Netflix debut…oof.

      It has not. I assume it will be back to 3 hours, but I haven’t considered commercials, or a lack thereof on Netflix. Will they do a full 3 hours if there are no advertisements?

      I don’t do well with change, so losing an hour even for a couple of months has me worried. After watching SmackDown last night I’m put a little more at ease. They get a lot done on Fridays

        I can’t remember if this was stated as fact or speculation, but I heard Raw won’t be locked to three hours on Netflix since they don’t have to worry about the show that’s on after.

        Also, Netflix has a plan that has commercials now so Raw will probably just have ads for WWE merch or whatever they do for PLEs on Peacock.

          This makes the most sense. Peacock has similar. If you pay for premium you get promo packages and merch when they play ads
