According to Fightful Select, the Candice LeRae vs. Ivy Nile match on RAW was cut short from one segment to just 2.5 minutes, and it was because of the CM Punk – Drew McIntyre – Seth Rollins promo segment.
The match between The New Day and #DIY was affected as well.
The Wrestling Observer gave the following update regarding the decisions Triple H made on this week’s RAW:
“They went a little long, but there was no negativity from it. One person had told me that [Triple H] knew they were probably going to go long throwing those guys out there like that.
So the matches that didn’t have the ring entrances, they did the entrance during the commercial break. Before the show, they had already planned that that was going to be the case.
So it wasn’t like that they came up with that to save time. It was like they knew they were going to save time.
And you know, they did rush through the #DIY match was shorter, and the Ivy Nile match was barely a match; and, you know, but that’s how it goes.
And we had no real heat or anything on anybody for anything they did; and it just kind of went off; and when the rating came in, everybody was thrilled.”
CM Punk announced on RAW that he will be the special guest commentator for the World Heavyweight Championship match between Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre on Night 2 of WrestleMania 40.
