7 Ways to Better Organize Raw and Smackdown

2. Organize Raw Specifically to the Top of the Hour

Raw does this anyway, but this is what would make Raw organized now that it doesn’t specifically have to focus on all titles in three hours. The show starts at 8pm, which means that the WWE World Heavyweight Champion opens and sets up the show.

9pm is the beginning of the 2nd hour and that’s where the bridge for Thursday night would be. This is a prime spot for the Tag Team Champions, any Smackdown no. 1 contenders matches, or any other major segments Raw needs, such as continuing the build for Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker.

10pm should be the United States title and John Cena’s US Open Challenge. Even when Cena isn’t the champion, this is the US title’s spot. Finally at 11pm, the main event and WWE Champion are focused on.

In between all the top of hours is the time for midcard feuds, extended previews for Smackdown, the Tag Team division, or anything else WWE wants to put on Raw like guest hosts, or Hall of Fame segments. Anything really.
