The duration of a program doesn't affect the quality, but in a world where the WWE is still running PPVs once a month, you're almost cramming as much into a RAW as SummerSlam some nights. In theory, having such stacked RAWs could negatively affect PPV business and the WWE Network.

I have never understood why the WWE has "B-shows." When you've got Superstars, Main Event and SmackDown to also cram content into, you have plenty of time in a week to showcase a lot of talent and give them meaningful developments. Yet the WWE actually chooses to make Superstars almost entirely irrelevant to the ongoings of RAW. And recently SmackDown has been used as a trial ground for promos and matches to later air on RAW. Everything Chris Jericho said to Bray Wyatt in their "One-on-One" this week was said in a backstage interview with Renee Young on SmackDown, for example.

I think everything the WWE is doing is working for them. It seems somewhat sustainable and every week on RAW you have one segment advertised for Main Event and SmackDown. It's very robotic and a bit of a pattern-holder though. I don't think allows much room for exciting growth. But the WWE may not be after that.

This is another issue. Going back to this past RAW, there was a time where that match between Thwagger and Cesaro would have been the main event of the card. Now, it's barely midcard and lost in the shuffle and wasn't important except to have more literal flag waving at the end by "Bigg Hoss" and Rusev... which is kind of a thing that has been happening between the two for weeks. Every show. We're aware the angle is there, they don't have to keep pointing at it every RAW. They're having a flag match at Summer Slam. We get it. Use some of that TV time for other shit. Other people. Other angles.
