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,” Mone wrote in her newsletter.However, she also finds the silver lining in the Red brand’s shift to Netflix. “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 added.WWE is all hyped up for the Netflix debut but the hour cut of the Red brand has raised a similar concern among fans as well. While Friday Night SmackDown is reportedly getting another hour to add to the current two-hour format, the Blue brand will stay on television as WWE has recently given the broadcast rights to the USA network. Currently, all three brands are under the USA network but NXT will shift to CW on October 1 and Monday Night Raw will make their Netflix debut in the beginning of 2025.
