Either way, this sucks.
I definitely think that next year, making Mania reasonable length again and not stretching to get everyone on the card would be a good thing. Not everybody needs a Mania payday. But whilst I don't care about these two matches, given the circumstances of the past year I think it'd be nice to let everyone get a chance to be in front of fans again. |

I actually like the 2-day thing, makes Mania stand out from every other PPV. I’d take 3.5-4 hours each night over 7-8 hours for one show.

Not even NXT is getting that special treatment since TakeOver is being done at the Performance Center. Knowing WWE, Hogan's probably getting that special crowd treatment since him and Titus are the hosts this year but he's probably getting the big elaborate entrance first.

DX's parody of the Nation involving them wearing blackface and Kurt Angle comparing Booker T's wife to animal and wanting bestiality sex with her got the axe treatment by NBC for the WWE Network on Peacock.

What's stupid about the DX thing is they weren't all in blackface, so what was the reason XPac and Road Dogg did it?

RAW has taken a very different tone the last month, I've been speculating that WWE is beginning to transition RAW to a kid's program.
I mean it makes sense, they have to try and get younger/newer fans at some point. It wouldn't shock me if RAW got a kid-friendly logo soon and Peacock promoted stuff from it more to kids. They'll lose a lot of older viewers doing this (it was notable the 50+ demo dropped throughout RAW more than usual this week) but they'll lose viewers each year regardless. |

That's an interesting idea and would help explain some of RAW's direction in recent months like Riddle's character in general and New Day leaning even more heavy in the goofball direction post-Big E split.
Only problem is WWE already saw what happened when they shifted into a strong kids direction during the Cena era. Ended up with kids and younger viewers not sticking around after a while and failing to form a strong new core for their fanbase. Probably will also hurt NXT more than help on Tuesdays since when people decide to drop RAW, they usually don't move over to NXT or SD and instead become lost for good. |

I assume the call had something to do with that Shane promo in another tweet above... I only made it 2 minutes before I couldn't watch anymore....
lol at the train sounds. I literally could not believe it and thought it was an April Fool's joke. |

Also watched the Riddle clip... I see the US Title was redesigned and looking pretty naff..... also what the hell with Riddle's character.... I mean, I never liked his character and thought he should obviously have been a heel, but.... yeah....

According to Triple H, Night 1 of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver won't feature commercial breaks on the Peacock stream unlike the USA Network version of the show.

Unless WWE suddenly adds more matches at the last minute, this year's Mania card is on pace to just miss tying last year's Mania card in terms of number of matches.
Last year's Mania card had 18-19 matches depending on how you counted the Big Show vs. Drew match for the WWE title. This year's card currently has 12 matches announced for both main card shows, 14 overall if you count the two Mania tier matches for next week's SD, and 16 overall if you also count the two rumored Women's Tag title related matches that have yet to be announced. |
