Quite possibly. It could be because they know the draft is pretty much done with too.

if it means more roster time for mid/lower carders, then fair enough. Unsurprisingly though, I am reminded of when Nitro went three-hours. A good 50% of the ring action involved said schlubs, who were able/instructed to do little more than punch and kick for 10 minutes (two commercial breaks' worth!). Filler for filler's sake...Originally Posted by McNamara That Ghost...
It's true that the recent three hour shows would hardly fill anyone with confidence.
If it's longer matches then great. If not, why bother?

Give GOOD matches more time...don't use the extra hour as an excuse to give us an extra Khali VS Show match or some awful thing nobody wants to see, give us a longer Ziggler/Someone good match.
Dancing hour with the Funkasaurus or something.
Keep it to 2 hours
Only have 3 hour shows for special shows.
What are they going to do now for special episodes? 4 hours?
I dont have the time to be sitting for 3 hours watching Raw ffs
2 was fine
Stupid move and if thats the case then they should cancel SD tbh.
It was Cringe worthy, Big man like that crying like a lil bitch.
Yep thats all we need, Unless this is the end for Ace with Show turning on him allowing him to keep his job.Not good, not good at all. Looks clear to me that
Cena loses to Ace that would suck tbh, he might as well quit lol.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...shake-ups.htmlWWE and TNA have announced radical shake-ups of their flagship TV shows.
Vince McMahon has decided to extend his Raw programme by 60 minutes meaning it will now air for three hours.
The new format will be more interactive and offer fans the chance to decide matches and stipulations each week.
It will all start on July 23 — Raw's 1000th edition. Chairman McMahon said: "WWE is proud to celebrate this historic milestone with our partners at USA Network.
"Our new three-hour Raw represents the next generation in interactive television where our fans won't just watch the show, they will help create it."
While the extra hour will net WWE a healthy new stream of revenue, it will increase demands on Raw's writing and production team for a show which has been patchy at best in 2012.
Wrestling historians have noted the fact that WCW Nitro went from two to three hours in length in January 1998, at a point when they were trouncing WWF Raw in the Monday Night Wars.
By April that year Raw had pulled level as fans tired of the overexposed and increasingly lacklustre WCW show.
There is perhaps a possibility that the three-hour Raw experiment could spell the end for WWE Smackdown.
WWE have recently shifted the taping of minor show NXT to a location near their developmental facility in Florida, whereas it was previously taped prior to Smackdown.
With Smackdown ratings struggling, a roster split which is becoming increasingly blurred and Raw being advertised as a “supershow” involving talent from all brands, removing Smackdown could be an option.
