Reaction From WWE Talent That Have To Sit In The Ring For 15 Minutes Before Raw Matches
Long wait times are the norm for WWE superstars if they’re in the main event, and they don’t seem to like it.
The down time between the start of an entrance to the beginning of the match regularly goes 15 minutes these days for the WWE Raw main event. However, the 20 minute gap for Monday’s last match between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan seemed particularly egregious.
Fightful reached out to several wrestlers who had been subjected to the waits over the last year, who expressed annoyance at the situations and said that they’ve conveyed that to higher ups. However, they were told the format was what it was and it improved the show flow. When we asked one talent what they did during that time, they said “talk to the crowd, dance, get annoyed that I’m waiting that long.”
We’ve not heard of this policy changing any time soon.
