I don’t think there is a perfect number of matches, but some of these 5 match shows do feel a little empty to me. I wouldn’t mind them using the time to get some people over in some short, decisive matches. Some of my favorite matches from the Attitude Era and such are some of the random card fillers they would have to fill out a PPV.

I mean, it depends. If there are only five matches, but they're all huge, unforgettable bangers, I don't think anyone would complain. Case in point was Canadian Stampede, which only had 4 (not counting the pre-show), but is still considered one of their best historic events. 6 should be the target though, for non-Big 4. Mania can do 7 and 7 over 2 nights, and Summerslam can have a bit more as well. That show was less than 2 hours long though.

Backlash just had 5 and that was a 10/10 show so I'm fine with it.
I can't believe people are complaining that Asuka and Sane vs Belair and Cargill got too much time, that match was awesome.

The fact paid shows are being timed and paced around the idea of having to show ads to the free tier and therefore paying people still get ads they're just native built-in ads instead of app ads sucks just conceptually. That it means PPVs get paced out around having to have these off segments, reducing room for matches and adding more puff segments and non-match parts that are just there to be there, is a big piece of why WWE PPVs just do not do it for me. The paid tier of Peacock means you get to see the promo video packages before each match that have almost always been a part of PPV broadcasts. I think that’s the only difference for the lower tier, you get ads in place of the promo packages. Wait you guys in the US don't get the video packages that us using the WWE Network get?

If you subscribe for Peacock Premium Plus you get the whole show as aired on WWE Network. If you’re on the lower tier Peacock I don’t think you get all of the videos.

With 5, it seems like you have at least a couple matches that just drag too long. Did we really need every match to go over 13 minutes at Backlash? I think 6 to 7 works. I'd like a match on the Kickoff show as well.
