[8/3/24] WWE SummerSlam: Cleveland - Premium Live Event (7pm ET Start)
OneDeep

Might be the most story driven Summerslam in years
180 minutes, 7 matches. Math comes out to 25 minutes a match but they'll prolly spend 15 discussing each match and the rest running random commercials.
Not sure if I seen one for Bash in Berlin but count that as one, then Bad Blood in Atlanta with Cody, I say 2 of the WM 40 documentaries, the Indy show announcement/Rumble, Summerslam 2026 in Minnesota, whatever documentary they got going on now think Priest has one, maybe a raw on netflix one. Thats 8 on my count and prolly more I'm forgetting. Of course they gotta save some for the main show tho with 7 matches I'd assume they won't have much time to do commercials.
Imagine if the time spent discussing a match on the preshow ends up being longer than the match itself. Need someone to track that data if possible.

WWE moving to Peacock changed their PLE format. Peacock demands ad breaks between matches. This happens regardless of subscription type because it is a live show. If people are watching on the free plan, the commercial will air. Ad free plan, the break still has to happen, but you just see a WWE Hype video or WWE themed commercial instead. It's just been the nature of things since they moved to Peacock. Once they get all PLE's on Netfilx who knows how the format will change.
Ill watch Liv vs Rhea. Might be it. Ill check out the fights at that point.

A three hour preshow without a single match, hosted by the fukking Miz?
I'd prefer a cattle prod shot to my balls.

There’s a lot to do here. Just don’t hit up the clubs
How I feel about the card after not watching the last two weeks;
Damian v Gunther - Banger Incoming 
[*]Bayley v Nia - Nia should go over, but, we gonna watch her "OVERCOME THE ODDS" again
[*]Liv v Rhea - Should be a squash, but, atleast we might get a surprise guest
[*]Cody Rhodes v Solo - ehh
And they are saying the rumors aren't true.
[*]Logan Paul v LAK - Another "OMG Logan is such a great wrestler" because he's decent for someone without years of training...he's never around and LA should've won the the title months ago
[*]Sami v Bron - ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (Bron should gon' over at MITB)
[*]CM Punk v Drew - Definitely a must see
[*]Bayley v Nia - Nia should go over, but, we gonna watch her "OVERCOME THE ODDS" again
[*]Liv v Rhea - Should be a squash, but, atleast we might get a surprise guest
[*]Cody Rhodes v Solo - ehh

I already know this isn't gonna be the tentpole PLE it should because maybe the Logan Paul story ends...the rest are gonna continute to Bash At Berlin in a couple of weeks.
I'm tired of this slow burn, long term storytelling bullshti that got us watching the same people for months and HHH refusing to cut shyt that ain't working

The first two hours of the countdown is optional
Is that something they were discussing or is that depending on how Netflix does with raw?

I remember in the initial announcement they said once the Peacock deal is up, all PLEs will be on Netflix. All PLEs will be on Netflix in January if you live outside of the USA, because I believe Peacock is only for US customers. This is because the WWE Network is what people use currently if they are outside the USA.

The deal for the PLE's is not up yet
PLE's and the library content are still exclusive to Peacock in the US until March 2026
It's not a guarantee they wind up on Netflix although it's what makes sense

Yeah for the USA, that's why I made the distinction. But outside the US & Peacock, the WWE Network is what is used so that will be switching to Netflix in January from what I understand.
So anyone watching PLEs outside the US 2025+ should be watching them on Netflix or else they wouldn't be able to see them any other way. HHH said 80% of the globe will have access to WWE programming (Raw, SD, NXT, PLEs) once they make the switch.
