I mean, RAW doesnt have an overrun, Smackdown doesnt (for obvious reasons), so why does NXT have those extra minutes? It's especially annoying if there's a show I want to watch that starts at 9pm (I live in the Central time zone), so I have to end up taping the ends of matches on my DVR, yeah, first world problems and all, it's just annoying.

In theory it's to give it a viewership boost and it needs it more than RAW although there are weeks where it doesn't work or even loses viewers.

NXT had an overrun until USA Network feared that it would affect the 9 PM (I too am on Central time) show's ratings (at the time, debut episodes of Miz & Mrs), they did away with it for awhile, then brought it back when they began airing reruns of other shows after NXT again and it didn't matter as much. So I assume it's the same for Raw, they think it'll affect the 10 PM show's ratings (which right now is new episodes of Nikki BElla's Barmageddon or whatever that's called) and cut it off on time/early because of it.

The waitress is slow at Waffle House and Braun and Apollo need to wait for their coffee refills before their fishing trip.

Raw definitely doesn't need an overrun when it's as long as it is. Smackdown can't have an overrun because they won't bump the local evening news on FOX.
Let's be real, NXT is the only show that really can have an overrun.

I don't watch but from reading the threads NXT seems like an amorphous blob of weird and you really can't contain that.

They really should be using that extra nine minutes every week for a bonus Tatum Paxley match.

Appreciate the flashbacks to mid-2010s and 3 hour RAWs running over. It was bad enough, but when the episode was already pure filler it really, really stands out.

Didn’t NXT get the overrun as a way to artificially inflate the rating when they were competing with AEW?
