This week we saw the amount of wrestling from last week increase by 18 minutes despite having one fewer show than most weeks to have qualifying matches. Thanks to the European tour and the fact that Raw and Smackdown were taped on the same night, there were no matches on Main Event.
This week was likely aided by two matches longer than 20 minutes to give us more wrestling time and a higher average match length. The absence of the usual ten minutes for Main Event assisted in the average wrestling per hour totals as well, which increased by almost 2 and a half minutes over last week.
The time for the R Truth versus Singhs match was from the start of the match until Truth let The Singhs have some alone time with Erick Rowan.
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.
