Matches now will be short enough to accomodate commercials. #givewrestlersachance

Apparently, they had a “five-minute break” during the US Title contender match on Raw this past week for the live audience.

Well this should be a hilarious mess unless they go all the way with it.
Wrestlers call time outs
go into the break to grab a refreshing gatorade
each match will be in rounds now

I wish they'd get rid of matches during my commercial breaks.

I don't understand why they don't just do the split-screen they've been doing on Smackdown for ALL commercial breaks on both Smackdown and Raw. You still get your ads in and it doesn't disrupt the flow of the matches for people watching at home It might be a network call rather than their call for running the split-screen.

If they stick to this, this is big. Not only for tv viewing but for the awkward live arena experience.

So they're threatening us with longer matches.
Bold move, WWE.

Sure. Why not. It'll help the presentation of the show and whatnot. WORK ON YOUR f***ING STORY WRITING. IT IS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING THAT WILL FIX YOUR SHOW. Was here to say the same thing. Ads haven't made me miss weeks of the show or lean further toward ending my subscription.

"So, we're going to have some longer matches that will be able to actually tell a story?" "Oh, god no, Pal, we're only gonna have 5 minute squash matches so we can have more time for more breaksa and sketches!"
I'd like to think that the reason they'd be doing this is because they're losing enough advertisers that that 3 hours looks daunting to fill now.

Matches now will be short enough to accomodate commercials. Honestly? That'd be great. Why should we sit through a three segment Baron Corbin match when they have a roster of 8,659 people?

Am I missing something here? Isn't this a good thing? People have been complaining about ads during matches for the last 15 years. WWE is awful right now and this won't fix those problems but no more ads during matches is a good thing.

WWE is awful right now and this won't fix those problems but no more ads during matches is a good thing. Depends on how they do it. More matches, less segments? Rushed matches? It’s all in the execution now. Hell, they cut to commercial during the damn preshow.

Oh sure, they'll cut out the mid-match commercials...in exchange for either extremely short matches that don't give talent a chance to showcase themselves or an uninterrupted twenty minute "Corbin Classic."

I'd argue that weekly show matches should be shorter anyways.

PWInsider mentions the were/are considering trying some matches using a rounds system as in the UK. I don't understand why they don't just do the split-screen they've been doing on Smackdown for ALL commercial breaks on both Smackdown and Raw. You still get your ads in and it doesn't disrupt the flow of the matches for people watching at home It might be a network call rather than their call for running the split-screen. Yeah, USA is probably fine with doing that on SDL since it was cheaper and didn't draw the same ad rate. On Raw, with the show costing more, they probably want more and split screen ads don't do that.
