WWE tested out something new on RAW this week. They are no longer allowing any wrestling during commercial breaks on RAW and Smackdown. The rumor is that WWE wants to give their television shows more of a ‘sports’ feel moving forward.
We have a rumor to pass your way about WWE’s decision to go this route.
According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live (subscribe here), there is some internal concern about this new edict from Vince McMahon.
There is apparently some significant concern within WWE that this new idea will really kill the live crowds. With the matches stopping for commercials, some are worrying that it will take the live crowd out of things.
This was apparently a decision that Vince McMahon tossed out nonchalantly during a creative meeting. It was also noted by some in WWE that they wouldn’t be surprised if the new edict is dropped or forgotten about soon.
