How long is WWE Raw on Netflix run time?

For years, WWE kept to the same general rule of thumb with their two main televised shows on cable: Raw was the "A" show on Monday nights and ran for a full three hours while SmackDown was the "B" show and ran for two hours, first on Tuesdays on USA Network and then later on Fridays with FOX. When SmackDown's rights were repurchased by USA, it stayed as a two-hour show. But the paradigm shifted a few months ago. In preparation for Raw's move to Netflix on the first Monday of 2025, Raw shrunk from three hours to two in October, which was seen as a welcome change by most WWE fans, who felt a three-hour Raw had become cumbersome. Interestingly enough, if WWE's intention was to trim the fat with its offerings, they went in the opposite direction with SmackDown, which changed to a three-h...

Every WWE Elimination Chamber Winner, Champion, and Future Champion

WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 will take place on March 1, 2025 in Toronto, Canada, marking the first time the Premium Live Event (PLE) will take place in this month. Usually, the Elimination Chamber takes place in February, one month after Royal Rumble in the last week of January, but since the Rumble is on Feb. 1 this year, the EC start time is relatively delayed. Since 2010 when it became a regular PPV offering by WWE, Elimination Chamber has traditionally pitted six opponents against each other, with the winner of the match getting a shot at the title at WrestleMania or winning the title directly inside the Chamber ahead of WrestleMania. In 2018, the Elimination Chamber show finally had a women's chamber match, adding further importance to the Pay Per View as a whole and entrenc...

Who will Gunther face at WWE WrestleMania 41?

Gunther is the current World Heavyweight Champion, and his opponent at WWE WrestleMania 41 largely remains a mystery. There's a prevailing belief that he will ultimately face Seth Rollins with CM Punk likely to face Roman Reigns and John Cena expected to battle Cody Rhodes, barring any more twists created by The Rock - or someone else. As Intercontinental Champion, Gunther put on a legitimate five-star barnburner at WrestleMania a couple of years ago against future WWE Hall of Famers Sheamus and Drew McIntyre, solidifying his status as one of the brightest new stars in the company. Gunther could have a match with Logan Paul Gunther could be a part of a WrestleMania twist this year with a less polished opponent potentially on the horizon, as PWInsider's Mike Johnson reports that Log...

Who will Charlotte Flair face at WWE WrestleMania 41?

Charlotte Flair missed the entirety of 2024 after tearing her ACL, MCL, and meniscus, but her return is imminent, with WWE showing video packages hyping up the return of the Queen. Although Charlotte is disliked by many fans for winning so many matches, she is respected by many of those same fans and has built up a legion of loyal followers for her work over the years, which includes some of the most important matches of the 2010s and 2020s. A 13-champion already on the main roster, Charlotte Flair will undoubtedly have a major role to play at WWE WrestleMania 41 upon her return, as the company will want to take advantage of her name recognition and the impact a return from a serious injury will have on fans. Charlotte Flair could have a world title match at WWE WrestleMania 41 Acc...

Who will The Rock face at WWE WrestleMania 41?

Last year, The Rock stole the spotlight during WWE WrestleMania season, and many fans feared that he would take Cody Rhodes's spot to face Roman Reigns for the world championship, because after Cody lost the title in heartbreaking fashion to the Tribal Chief in 2023, the assumption was that he'd get his revenge in 2024. Cody eventually did, and while that was the right call, there were others who understood The Rock's argument that he, WWE, and Roman had planned a title match between the two cousins for years when Roman's new character was first forged. Now that the dust has settled, everyone wants to know what The Rock's role will be at WWE WrestleMania 41 and if he will have a match of his own, whether against Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, or, most likely, Roman Reigns. The Rock isn't cur...

Who will CM Punk face at WWE WrestleMania 41?

Honestly, ever since rumors of CM Punk's return to WWE first bubbled up in 2023, fans have been dreaming about a world title match between Punk and the then-undefeatable Roman Reigns. Even though Reigns finally dropped his Undisputed Championship Title to a very deserving opponent in Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, the aura around Reigns has not subsided, while Punk's own magnetism has been stronger than ever. He's cutting 10/10, old school wrestling promos in the crowd as if it is second nature to him, and, well, that's because it is. CM Punk is ready to be the main event of WWE WrestleMania again, and while that honor will almost certainly belong to Cody in 2025, perhaps Punk and Reigns can take the top spot for themselves. The seeds for CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns were already set l...

Who will John Cena face at WWE WrestleMania 41?

The most burning question heading into WWE WrestleMania 41 is the role of John Cena, who helped kick off the company's new era on Netflix by announcing his intention to win the Royal Rumble and break Ric Flair's record. Cena is one of the favorites to win the Rumble this year, and, if he does, there's an assumption that he will challenge Cody Rhodes, who is the main world champion in WWE and would be a blockbuster opponent for Cena. On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said there are currently no plans "etched in stone" for a Cody vs. Cena title match at 'Mania, but Meltzer did say that there are legitimate conversations about Cena having a title match. John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes is becoming more likely Fightful have also reported that the current plan for WrestleMania 41 is in...

How should WWE handle a Kazuchika Okada debut?

The rumor mill is on high alert now that Kazuchika Okada has officially departed from New Japan Pro Wrestling, but we don't yet know where the former NJPW cornerstone will land. There's certainly a very real chance he'll go to AEW, and he wouldn't be the first NJPW star to make that decision. On the other hand, there's an equally likely reality where he might wind up in WWE. As much as that would've seemed truly impossible just a few months or years ago, Kazuchika Okada is free to sign where he pleases after January 31, 2024. If WWE is his landing spot, how do they handle one of the greatest wrestlers of all time? Kazuchika Okada in NXT would be a mistake There have already been reports circulating about what might happen if Kazuchika Okada arrives in WWE. We know that a Royal Rum...

How close is Roman Reigns to shattering Hulk Hogan’s record?

As the dominance of The Tribal Chief continues, can Roman Reigns break the record Hulk Hogan has held for nearly four decades? Since his shocking return at WWE Payback on August 30, 2020, there has been no stopping Roman Reigns. He defeated Braun Strowman and The Fiend to capture the Universal Championship, and Roman has yet to spend a single day without a World Championship since that moment. With his combined reign since unifying it with the WWE Championship into the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, Roman Reigns is now knocking on the door of one of wrestling's longest held records. Few men have been champion for longer, but will Roman actually knock off the next longest reign? When would Roman Reigns break Hulk Hogan's WWE Championship record? WWE has continued to tout...
