It appears that WWE officials have decided to go back to allowing wrestling during commercial breaks.
As seen on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw in Little Rock, Arkansas at the Verizon Arena on the USA Network, the Gauntlet Match, Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins and WWE Tag Team Championship matches all featured wrestling during the commercial break.
The company also didn’t book 2 out of 3 falls matches. WWE implemented this rule back on the June 17th episode of Raw where a match can go through a commercial break but there can’t be any wrestling during that break.
It all started once WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon felt that legitimate sports don’t play during breaks. This led to WWE regularly booking 2 out of 3 falls and elimination matches.
