This is only a rumor, so take it for what it’s worth. It had been previously reported that Vince McMahon made a recent decree, which will see no more wrestling action taking place during commercial breaks of WWE programming.
According to a report from PWInsider, there has been talk backstage of the company of trying out a new format of wrestling matches, which would include multiple rounds. This is similar to the old European style of rounds matches.
It could involve something similar to this type of match:
A similar format was introduced in Impact Wrestling in 2016, when they debuted the Grand Championship. It was used until 2018, when it was unified with their World Championship.
Editor’s Opinion:
Honestly, I think that this is a terrible idea. I get that WWE feels that they need to try new things because they are losing their fan base, but when you’re trying to emulate something that didn’t work in Impact Wrestling, then you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel. WWE fans will pick up on it too, which will only make the situation worse.
