JBL explains why Monday Night Raw Will continue to be a three hour show

THE WWE FANS HAS BEEN MAKING SOME NOISE about Monday Night Raw being a three hour show and how they wanted it to be shorter.

The complaint was a topic of discussion in the new Network show ‘Bring it to the Table’ and SmackDown announcer JBL gave a great explanation on why Raw cannot cut short an hour. Below is what he said.

 “You gotta understand this, it’s not gonna happen. TV contracts. The three major markets of the United States, U.K. and India all run till September and December of 2019.

WWE makes $173 million dollars off television revenue during that time. By far the most out of anything else on the balance sheet. They make about $137 million off the network, they make about $106 million off live events, the rest of it is under $50 million each. So when you have $173 million, that’s the biggest driver of revenue for WWE, and you wanna take out one-hour. That third hour of Raw brings a huge amount of revenue.”
