• WWE Makes A Change To RAW After Fan Criticism
After a wave of criticism from fans regarding the frequency of advertisements, Netflix is officially adjusting how it broadcasts WWE Monday Night RAW. Since the show’s historic move to the streaming platform in 2025, the number of commercial interruptions has been a major point of frustration for the audience.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, WWE and Netflix have listened to the feedback and decided to reduce the number of commercial breaks per episode. The original plan for the 2.5 hour RAW broadcast included 12 commercial breaks, but that number has now been trimmed down to 10. This change was reportedly put into effect starting with this week’s episode of RAW.
While the total number of breaks has decreased, it remains unclear if the remaining 10 breaks will be longer to compensate for the lost ad time.
Regardless, the move is seen as a win for viewers who felt the constant interruptions were hurting the flow of the matches and storylines.
• Omos’ Next TV Appearance Date Announced
A new era for Mexican wrestling begins this weekend as Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide makes its official debut on Fox Sports Mexico on January 17. This major television move signals a significant expansion for the promotion across Latin America, and details regarding the broadcast schedule and creative direction are now coming to light.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, the production schedule for this new Fox series will follow a live and taped format. The show is expected to air live every third week, with the promotion filming two additional weeks of content immediately following the live broadcast. This approach allows AAA to maintain a consistent television presence while keeping the energy of a live crowd for its major monthly events.
The Undertaker has reportedly become an “integral figure” behind the scenes for the promotion. Following reports from late last year, the WWE Hall of Famer has been lending his expertise to AAA, potentially influencing the presentation and professional polish of the brand as it moves to a major international platform.
AAA has announced that Omos will appear on the debut episode this Saturday. The Nigerian Giant returned at AAA Guerra de Titanes in December and joined forces with El Hijo del Vikingo by attacking Dragon Lee.
Below is the card for January 17:
– #1 Contender’s Match for Dominik Mysterio’s AAA Mega Championship: El Hijo del Vikingo vs. El Grande Americano
– AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Flammer vs. Lady Shani
– Mr. Iguana, La Parka, and Nino Hamburguesa vs. Taurus, Histeria, and Abismo Negro Jr.
– Omos will appear
– Rey Mysterio will kick off the show
• CM Punk Reacts To Kevin Nash’s Criticism
Kevin Nash saw CM Punk wrestling in a t-shirt at a recent WWE Live Event and said Punk is “done” and needs to hit the gym.
After this, Punk wore two t-shirts during a Live Event match and many fans thought this was a dig at Nash.
During an interview with ComingSoon, the World Heavyweight Champion said him wearing two t-shirts had nothing to do with what Big Daddy Cool said, and that he didn’t understand the criticism:
“I can say it had nothing to do with him but obviously the genesis of the story is him saying that I wrestle in a shirt and I never wrestle in a shirt. I didn’t really understand what the criticism was, but thanks. You’re right.
I did that to make people I was in the ring with laugh because when I’m on a house show, to me, that’s what it’s about. It’s about having fun. If the fans see us having fun, they’re having fun. I like to keep it light, I like to make people laugh when I’m on the road and I’m away from my wife and people are away from their families.
That’s our family while we’re on the road and I’m kind of the jokey guy. I’m gonna have fun on a house show.”
