Raw doubled Smackdown’s total, which finished in second place. Those two shows almost beat the other five shows for the week, but despite that gap between first and second, with four of the other five shows in the 20 minute range, it gave us this total.
For the fourth time in the last seven weeks, we had no matches that qualified in the One Minute Match category. For the first time that I can remember, the shortest match in the week was three minutes.
Raw passed the 6,000 minute barrier by a significant margin and could pass 6,100 minutes next week. During Smackdown, we saw the 5,000th wrestling match since I started this column. Ring of Honor passed 400 matches this week.
The times for the two individual portions of the Sami Zayn versus Bo Dallas match on NXT were:
Original Match: 5 Minutes
Restarted Match: 9 Minutes
The combined time is less because the times above are rounded for this column. The actual time of the falls combine to just under 13 and one half minutes.
The wrestling times below cover the wrestling that takes place during the show so commercials are not included. All times are rounded to the closest minute (examples: a 4:23 match will be listed as 4 minutes while a 4:32 match will be listed as 5 minutes and anything under a minute is rounded up to a minute).
