WWE In Discussions For ‘More Adult’ Third Hour Of Raw?

WWE

WWE Raw has been a three hour show for over a decade now, officially becoming three hours every week back in July 2012 after Raw 1000.

Over the years, WWE has taken several steps to try and ‘spice up’ the third hour of the show, which included Raw Underground and the ‘dark hour’ of Raw in 2019 when the lights were turned out.

Speaking at the JPMorgan Global TMT Teleconference, WWE CEO Nick Khan spoke about the show.

Khan said that while he doesn’t anticipate there being a change to the length of the show, there have been discussions with what to do with the third hour of the show, and whether to make it ‘more adult’.

Khan had said recently that WWE was open to the idea of SmackDown being moved to a different night.

The card for WWE Night of Champions 2023 on Saturday, May 27 is as follows:

World Heavyweight Championship – Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins vs. AJ Styles

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship – Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn (c) vs. Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa

Raw Women’s Championship – Bianca Belair (c) vs. Asuka

SmackDown Women’s Championship – Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Natalya

Intercontinental Championship – Gunther (c) vs. Mustafa Ali

Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar

Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus

Nick Khan at JPMorgan TMT now: "Raw is 3 hours. We don't anticipate that changing." They're in discussions about what to do with the 10-11pm hour, whether to make it more "adult".
