How Long Until Raw Goes Back To Two Hours?

They might drop viewership during the 10pm because some of the kids might not be allowed to stay up, especially during the school year. Maybe, they might better off 8pm-10pm instead of 9pm-11pm or 8-11pm.

I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually did go 8pm-10pm, just one more addition to the PG Era!

I predict RAW going back to 2 hours the week after WM 29.

ASAP I hope. At this point its hard to reason why we should pay for 3 hour PPV's when we get that for free the very next night. That never did WCW any favors and I doubt it does WWE any. Not only does it affect Raw by making it long and drawn out, but it makes Smackdown pointless. There's more than enough time on Raw to push any angle going on. Why have Smackdown then? Its becoming counter-productive and more likely exhausting for creative to fill 3 hours one night alone. Not to mention that suprisingly enough, they still over-run past the 3 hours.

I never understood the need for the time change in the first place. It was kind of an out of the blue thing, and I wonder if any of us fans even wanted it. I was not a fan of the 3 hour Nitro nor am I a fan of the 3 hour Raw. It is just to long of a show. I do have to admit that they have done a pretty good job of it considering, but it is still to long with me. I have a feeling that even though the third hour drops in ratings that it is still better than anything else us would put in that slot so I fear it won't go away soon.

As soon as the ratings dip so low it'd be more profitable for the USA Network to show reruns of Murder She Wrote during the third hour. WWE pays the bills for USA Network and they know it. They were the ones who wanted RAW to go to three hours.
