Last year WWE Monday Night Raw made the jump to Netflix and it seems that the partnership has been a success so far. Even though Raw currently airs on a streaming service the show still features a heavy amount of ads, but it looks like WWE will be cutting back on the amount of commercial breaks that are used throughout the show.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select is reporting that a decision was made to reduce the commercial breaks on Raw from 10 to 12, and the change was implemented this week. It was not specified if the breaks will be longer due to the change.
Currently the stars of the red brand are overseas and next week’s episode of Raw is set to air live from the SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
It’s been confirmed that Finn Balor will be challenging CM Punk for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship next week on Raw, and Becky Lynch will also be defending her WWE Women’s World Championship against Maxxine Dupri during the show.
Stay tuned for updates.
