It was announced earlier that as of July 23 (which will be Raw's 1000th episode), WWE Monday Night Raw will make the permanent change from 2 hours to 3 hours every week.
John Cena tweeted the announcement stating:
"STARTING Monday Night July 23 @USA_NETWORK WILL BE ADDING A 3RD HOUR TO @WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW - PERMANENTLY. #3hourRaw"
Considering that Raw gets higher ratings than the next five shows on the USA network (my presumption here), it seems a no-brainer. I doubt this will improve the quality of the show. Who knows, though? Maybe some up-and-comers will put their bodies on the line more like they did back in 'the day', but with the growing body of evidence of the effects of head trauma, I hope it ain't so. We never need to see another Chris Benoit again.
