Former WWE creative writer Freddie Prinze Jr. recently spoke on his podcast, โWrestling with Freddie,โ about a variety of professional wrestling topics including how he believes WWE RAW going to two hours for the rest of the year could lead to TKO making cuts to the roster.
Prinze Jr. said, โTheyโre moving it and cutting it down to two, which Iโve always thought is the perfect amount of time. I predict they will not have as many wrestlers on the roster as they currently do because there wonโt be enough time. Thatโs a full hour less of matches, segments, storylines, backstage segments, promos in the ring โฆ a full hour less, which means it wonโt be cost-effective for them to carry that many wrestlers. They are now owned by TKO, another corporation, and they will do a cost-effective โฆ [theyโll think] โThis wrestlerโs not being used, cut them. This wrestlerโs not being used, cut them,โ which gives more opportunities for wrestlers to go to AEW, to go to another brand if it goes out there.โ
