• WWE Uses New Trick To Follow Their New Rule During RAW
According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE no longer plans to have wrestling matches continue during commercial breaks on RAW & SmackDown.
This is the reason why WWE did 2 out of 3 falls matches on last week’s RAW & SmackDown (so they can have a fall and then go to commercial break).
WWE followed this new rule during this week’s RAW as well, but not with 2 out of 3 falls matches.
WWE restarted multiple matches on last night’s RAW so that there’s no wrestling during commercial breaks.
A fan sent the following information regarding last night’s RAW:
“R-Truth has had 3 matches tonight.
Alexa Bliss and Natalya have had 2 matches.
The Usos and The Revival had 2 matches.
Kofi Kingston had 2 matches and a beatdown.
Ricochet & AJ Styles’ match needed to be restarted after The Good Brothers were sent to the back, so two matches.”
