Probably not. HHH will probably book it to end Smackdown in a week or two.

I’m here for itIt could but you know HHH is on that quality over quantity mentality.
The TakeOver model hasn’t failed yet

They could be holding off for the PLE match to be a Triple Threat, maybe at Crown Jewel.
This could be after Melo wins the 7th match and gets his shot at the title, which could end with Andrade interference to lead to the TT.

Yeah, he's definitely staying in that 5-match range for the smaller PLE's and it makes sense, a lot of people complained about the shows running too long so he adapted and took what his 'NXT Takeover' ideology was and brought it to the main roster.
The shows themselves are better off too if there's a match with some heat/story behind it and you're getting to see it on free TV.
On RAW it was Jey Uso vs. Bron for the I.C. title.... they built that up over time. They had Jey Uso win the mini tournament to get a title shot and then the payoff was the match with Bron where he won it. This ALL happened on TV...
Same thing for this week's RAW.... All of the Braun/Bronson interaction has happened on RAW. Now, this week the viewers will get to see the payoff with the 'Last Monster Standing' match as they go 'Godzilla vs. Kong' on us...
I've always felt, they need to strike a balance. Give people reasons to want to tune into the TV shows and also give people reasons why they need to see the PLE.

Yeah, if it works don‘t fix it.
The only heat HHH gets from it is that black wrestlers (males) are not getting PLE matches.
Thats a different story for another thread though. Let’s not derail it.

Once they get off Peacock (in 2026) and all PLEs are on Netflix there might be more matches because they are at the mercy of Peacock wanting these ad breaks in between matches and that's what takes up a lot of the time on the show. Netflix could be more lenient in that regard but we have to see how they handle commercials and ad breaks for Raw to get an idea on how it goes.

Is it confirmed that WWE is moving to Netflix for PLE's once the Peacock deal is up? I'm a bit concerned about what's going to happen with the library/archives but if PLE's continue to be "free" on a streamer that's great..

It also differentiates between the Special PLE's and the regular PLE's... People know when they are getting 'Survivor Series' that the show could go 3:30-4 hours and that it will likely have a payoff for a big angle or create a new one etc... Or with 'SummerSlam' that there will be two nights now and it will be a stadium atmosphere and have all the spectacle that WWE is known for

Starting in 2025 PLE's outside the US will be on Netflix so yes, once the Peacock deal is up in 2026, the US will start using Netflix for PLE's. So it will be interesting to see that transition. Royal Rumble 2025 will be the first opportunity for us to find out if they change anything up.
If I had to guess, Netflix will just have access to the WWE Network which still exists outside the US.
