Hows that work? Surely the networks shitting a brick and the WWE loses money on the advert timeslots it wont be having?

I'm wondering how it's going to work on the UK broadcast too. I'm not sure if they time their commercials to go with the US broadcast, or if Sky has a commitment to advertisers, so we'll have parts of it cut out.

They'll prolly have a product sponsoring it. Fox did have a season premiere of 24 run without commercials once.
EDIT: I wonder how they'll do this whole commercial free stuff on The Score?

I suspect the live airing will be shown commercial-free, but not the repeat. If it's not like that, I'll be pissed.

I'm expecting about 30 product mentions during the broadcast, and a bunch of Recaps all sponsored by Axe and the Chocolate Douchebag.
But for other networks... I fear for you. a cut-up RAW where you miss stuff could very well happen.

Wrestlers will have advertisements and sponsers on their ring attire.

I hear that this was mainly the network's idea to help them get the edge in the ratings against TNT. I'm sure they knew they'd be pissing money away.

The announcers will randomly segue into product promotions while calling the matches.

They will probably have advertising anyway, just like, "Tonight's commercial free RAW is brought to you by Snickers and Pepsi," three or four times an hour.

WWE and USA Network are in constant communication with Sky Sports throughout each show, so they'll just tell Sky that there aren't any commercials tonight.

They come across as being really hard-up for ratings. Instead of coming up with gimmick RAWs, I wish they'd do the logical thing and focus on improving the product, even if it means some major changes.

I'm almost certain there will be ads placed within the show. Basically the entire reason free TV exists, is because networks make money selling spots to advertisers. If there was no advertisements, the networks would make no money and the show would be a financial disaster.
Tonight's Raw could be unintentionally hilarious to see how they sneak ads in there. Remember years ago when X-Pac was a spokeperson for Hanson's Energy Drink, and he would drink it on the way to the ring? And they put the logo into his entrance video? I'm half expecting this.
Orton: "Ted, what are you doing."
Ted: "Eating a Snickers. It's packed with peanuts."
Cody: "YOU'RE packed with peanuts."
Orton: "Ah, the 3 of us have such great times! Let's go to Subway."
Batista (in a photoshoppable pose): "Eat Fresh!!"

Hopefully it'll be like the product placement scene in Wayne's World.
