When you think about Monday nights in the fall, it’s usually a clearing: WWE Monday night RAW versus Monday night football. In the report published by Wrestle votes this September WWE will overturn the script with a few very interesting, but bold planning moves that all fans would get, and perhaps even feel as if they had just landed at the NFL game hours.
WWE and NETFLIX joined for three weeks “Test Drive” in September, during which RAW will start at 19:00 ET – an hour earlier than usual – on the 15th, 22nd and 29th place. The aim is to allow wrestlers to complete their events before Monday night that football will reach its “Crunch” time, to which the game usually appears when the game begins to warm up. This timing gives fans a better chance to stay with RAW without missing the key moments of the football match.
Starting from 19:00, RAW wrapped up before EsPn’s double head of the double head gets on a full throttle. Some games even start around 19:15, so earlier WWE start time gives him an advantage over the NFL. This step is not just bold; It is also quite tactical, because the NFL viewer usually explodes in the fall. WWE aims to plant its flag early and keep the eyes of fans locked on the ring before they attract all landing.
These September enhancements are just one chapter in the developing RAW story from the transition to Netflix. In Europe, episodes have already been broadcast in dubious times: 15:00 ET of Birmingham, England and 14:00 et from Paris, France. And it will come on October 13, the show will be at 8 am at 8 am to be in line with Perthu in Australia, which is 5:00 on the west coast of the US. After the September experiment, RAW is expected to return to its classic 20:00 ET slot except Perth Special.
While the official statement is still suspended, the smart mind like Dave Meltzer speculated that the point is to attract viewers before football steals the reflector. Confidential move, if you ask, it shows that WWE is about maintaining the pace with chess movements of pop culture. And frankly, who doesn’t like a good game with One-UPMANSHIP? The official announcement of the clarifying reason is still waiting for the Netflix and WWE.
