Quite A Bit Of Time Was Cut From This Week's Monday Night Raw On Netflix Debut

There was a lot more. We are officially in a new era of WWE as their flagship show, Monday Night Raw, is officially being broadcast on Netflix every week. This week’s edition marked the show’s debut on the new platform and saw a variety of changes taking place. It turns out that one of the changes you might have noticed was originally planned to be a lot bigger.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw was originally supposed to be about twenty minutes longer with some of the show being cut off near the end. It is not clear what was originally going to air, though segments involving the return of Becky Lynch (which may or may not have ever been planned) and the debut of Penta were reportedly planned. Monday Night Raw’s weekly run time is expected to be flexible going forward.

What we got was good. Check out some of the show:

Opinion: This is where things are going to feel so different going forward, as you really do not know how long the shows are going to be. That can have some benefits, as there are going to be weeks where the show is that much better without the lengthy run time. WWE is going to have to find the right balance though, as you do not want your fans left feeling shortchanged if they are paying to come to the event.
