With all nine shows on board this week, we did return over 200 minutes for the week with a total of 202 minutes of wrestling, a gain of only ten minutes from last week. With Raw, Smackdown, and NXT down double digits, the return of a strong showing from Impact could only give that small gain.
Only officially announced 24/7 Title Matches will be considered for this column.
When looking at the matches, if there is a [c] next to the match, that means that the show went to commercial during the matches. All times are rounded to the nearest minute so if a match is 4 minutes 29 seconds, it will be listed as 4 minutes. If a match is 5 minutes 41 seconds, it will be listed as 6 minutes. All times are based on my timing while watching the shows and should not be considered as the definitive totals.
Since the Ring of Honor Show this week did not present any matches specifically filmed for television, they did not have any quaiflying matches this week.
Because this week’s Impact was an Impact Plus special and not a standard episode of Impact, the matches did not qualify for this column.
The times for the participants in the Elimination Tag Match:
Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose: 8 Minutes
Peyton Royce and Billie Kay: 3 Minutes
Asuka and Kairi Sane: 17 Minutes
