WWE Raw Returns to Two-Hour Format

WWE has announced that 'Monday Night Raw' will revert to a two-hour format starting October 7, 2024, in anticipation of its transition to Netflix in January 2025. This change, which will last until December 30, 2024, is positioned as a way to prepare for the show's new home while freeing up the 10 PM EST time slot for the first time in decades. During the latest episode, Liv Morgan will defend her Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley, and Finn Balor challenged Damian Priest to a match at the upcoming Bad Blood PLE. The episode featured a multi-person street fight that showcased various talents and led to the Wyatt Sicks securing a victory. Additionally, the implications of a reduced runtime raise questions about talent management and show dynamics as WWE aims to maintain an engaging product with a deep roster. Fan reactions to the two-hour format have been mixed, reflecting uncertainties about the show's future direction.
