WWE News: Seth Rollins believes WWE Raw should be two hours long
Monday Night Raw is WWE’s signature weekly show. For a few years, the show has been on television for three hours, something that many experts have described as a bad idea.
First, due to the quality of the product. Second, because the average number of viewers drops considerably.
However, WWE achieved a much more lucrative agreement with the addition of the third hour.
Seth Rollins spoke about this matter in a recent interview for the Sports Illustrated podcast.
Where he admitted that the ideal for a professional wrestling program on television is two hours.
“I think a three-hour show is obnoxiously long,” Rollins commented. “Everything gets long, you know, and you have to fill three hours of television.

So I think two hours is a nice number for a professional wrestling show and I think it’s easier to make everything mean a little bit more.
On SmackDown When I was there last year, I hardly ever wrestled on TV and that was fine.”
Rollins also admits that there is one good thing about having three hours on television: the most on-screen exposure for talent.
“You look at Roman, he hardly ever wrestles on TV, I think maybe a handful of times in the last year.
So when he has matches on pay-per-views they feel like great deals.
On RAW I’ve wrestled like 26 five-star matches on the last two months. It’s crazy how many fights I have to do and I’d like to avoid it, but it is what it is.
I like the fact that I get a lot more screen time on Mondays because you get an extra hour.

But I think three hours is a lot to ask of a viewer each week,” Rollins said.
