WWE Raw Cuts Show Duration to Two Hours

WWE Raw is reverting to a two-hour format starting October 7, which Tommy Dreamer attributes to financial considerations ahead of WWE's transition to Netflix in January 2025. The latest WWE SmackDown episode featured Roman Reigns' return and a steel cage match where Cody Rhodes defeated Solo Sikoa, leading to a follow-up match due to time constraints. Reigns and Rhodes will team up against Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at the upcoming Bad Blood event. The recent Raw episode also saw Natalya's return after eye surgery and a notable segment involving Bret Hart and GUNTHER, which garnered praise for its strong heel performance. Dreamer highlighted the changes under Triple H's leadership, emphasizing the improved engagement and flow of WWE shows.
