WWE is considering making a major change to the final hour of Monday Night RAW.

The red brand has remained essentially the same for years, and the company feels it could be time to freshen it up. Monday Night RAW was must-watch television during the Attitude Era due to its presentation. It felt grittier and more catered to an adult viewer.

Brandon Thurston of WrestleNomics tweeted an interesting quote from WWE CEO Nick Khan today. Nick Khan was speaking at the JPMorgan TMT event and noted during the discussion that the company isn't opposed to making the final hour of the weekly show more "adult."

"Nick Khan at JPMorgan TMT now: 'Raw is 3 hours. We don't anticipate that changing.' They're in discussions about what to do with the 10-11pm hour, whether to make it more 'adult'," tweeted Brandon Thurston.

Vince Russo criticizes Becky Lynch's promo from last night's WWE RAW

Wrestling veteran Vince Russo wasn't a fan of Becky Lynch's promo last night on the red brand.

The Man and Trish Stratus signed the contract to make their match official for this Saturday at WWE Night of Champions. This weekend's premium live event will air from the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia. Lynch and Stratus traded words during last night's edition of the red brand, and Becky claimed that she's had a career that Trish could only have dreamt of.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Vince Russo criticized Becky Lynch and claimed that she was acting like a heel during the segment.

"There is another blatant Becky heel lying in this promo. Becky said in this promo, 'I have been able to have a career that you can only dream of.' Bro, that's a heel line. Trish has had a phenomenal career. She had a tremendous career and you've got the babyface saying this. Now you're lying Becky, that is a lie. Babyfaces are not supposed to lie. Say what you want about Trish in 2023, this woman had an unbelievable career. So why is a babyface saying that?," said Vince Russo.

There has been a debate amongst fans for years on whether or not RAW is too long at three hours. It will be fascinating to see if making the final hour of the red brand more "adult" for the viewer will lead to more fans tuning in.
