Mercedes Mone: I Hope The WWE Finds New Ways To Spotlight Talent When They Move To Netflix

Mercedes Mone always wants to see talented wrestlers get spotlighted.

In her Mone Mag newsletter, Mercedes Mone, the current AEW TBS Champion spoke about the WWE moving to Netflix where Monday Night Raw will air on the streaming service starting in the new year, she talked about her hope that WWE can find new ways to keep spotlighting their talent when they make the move.

“Now, let’s talk RAW. Word is that it’s dropping from 3 hours to 2, and honestly, I’ve got mixed feelings about it. I’ve always loved having that extra hour because it gives more performers a chance to shine. Losing that time could mean fewer opportunities for the roster. It’s hard enough for talent, especially women, to get TV time. The silver lining could be Netflix. With Netflix, I’m assuming (and hoping) there will be many new ways to showcase talent. In the end, I’m about more opportunities for talent, which leads to more entertainment for fans and more money for the business. It’s the best way for all to win – especially the roster and fans,” she wrote.

There has been no word yet on whether the WWE plans to keep Monday Night Raw at two hours when they make the move or switch back to the three-hour timeslot.
