WWE Changes The Look Of The Third Hour Of RAW (Video)

WWE made some changes to the look of the third hour of RAW last night.

As seen in the video above, Mick Foley announced that starting this week, the third hour will be getting “downright mean and nasty” and a “little bit dirty.” As he said that, the bright red and white logo on the tron switched to a more basic red logo on a black background. The house lights were dimmed and the LED lights were turned off on the ring posts.

You can see the visual changes occur at the 1:30 mark in the video below.

When RAW first moved to three hours weekly in 2012, the third hour was the highest rated hour for the first several weeks. That quickly started to change, and the third hour is now almost always the least watched hour. Over the past four weeks, the audience has dropped an average of 19% from the first hour to the third.

Ric Flair Unable To Attend Starrcast II After Undergoing Successful Heart Surgery

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is currently recovering after undergoing successful heart surgery earlier today, according to TMZ.

Flair’s wife Wendy Barlow told TMZ that the operation was a success and that The Nature Boy is now in the recovery room, adding that she wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and support during the difficult time.

As noted, Flair was hospitalized on Thursday after suffering a medical emergency. He was set to undergo surgery on Friday but doctors postponed the operation until Monday due to complications they were working around.

Flair was forced to back out of the Starrcast II weekend and “The Roast of Ric Fair” because he would not be healthy enough to make the trip by Friday evening. There’s no word yet on if the roast will be re-scheduled.

Mick Foley Introduced New WWE 24/7 Title

Last night on WWE RAW, Mick Foley unveiled the newest WWE Championship –  the 24/7 title.

Foley kicked off the segment talking about how RAW has lost something. He then pulled out the green-strapped 24/7 Championship and explained that the belt has the same rules as the old Hardcore title.

This means the champ has to defend the belt at all times as long as a referee is present.

Mick claimed the third hour of RAW every week will start to get “downright mean and nasty” and a “little bit dirty” and that whoever could grab the belt from the center of the ring would be the first champion. This ended up being Titus O’Neil, then was pinned by Robert Roode. Throughout the show, Roode was running and hiding from a group of wrestlers coming for the title. Later R-Truth helped him hide in the trunk of his car as Truth sent the others in the wrong direction. Truth let him out and Roode opened the car door and a referee got out and truth pinned Roode to become the new 24/7 champion and drove off.

Competitors from RAW, SmackDown, 205 Live, NXT, NXT UK and WWE legends are eligible to compete for the new title.

This brings the total number of main roster titles to 11.

Brock Lesnar Kept Hidden Backstage At WWE Money In The Bank

Brock Lesnar made a surprise return at the WWE Money In the Bank pay-per-view and won the men’s Money In the Bank Ladder match main event. WWE did an angle earlier in the night where Braun Strowman took out Sami Zayn, leaving spot open for Lesnar to return.

Lesnar was hidden away from most everyone else in the backstage area, according to PWInsider. There had been some rumors earlier in the day of Lesnar appearing, but no one could confirm he was there. Only a small group of people were aware of Lesnar’s return before he appeared backstage in the Gorilla position with WWE officials.

None of the men’s MITB Ladder Match competitors in the match were aware of Lesnar’s return ahead of time. PWInsider reports that the competitors were told that there would be a spot at the end of the match where Ali would be standing on top of the ladder, and would be tipped over. They were not told who would be coming out to do the spot.

There was also talk throughout the day that Ali would be winning the match, another sign that WWE took extreme measures to keep Lesnar’s return a secret.

Lesnar was never seen on Sunday until he came to the Gorilla Position towards the end of the main event.

Lesnar vs. WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins has been rumored for WWE’s Super ShowDown event from Saudi Arabia on June 7, but there’s no word yet on if this will be his MITB cash-in. WWE will be announcing more Super ShowDown matches on RAW.

Alexa Bliss Reportedly Threw Up After Taking A Bad Bump During A Match

As we previously reported, Alexa Bliss was pulled from tonight’s Money In The Bank ladder match. Bliss is reportedly out of action with a concussion. Dave Meltzer stated on Wrestling Observer Radio that Bliss was throwing up after a bad bump that she took in a match.

WWE has not provided an official reason for Bliss being out of action. Bliss’ injury is listed as “undisclosed” internally, which is becoming the common term for concussions. Bliss has suffered several concussions recently, however Meltzer noted that WWE had expected her to be cleared for tonight’s show and pulled her due to the bout being a ladder match.

Bliss has not wrestled since she faced Naomi on the April 29th episode of RAW. Nikki Cross will be replacing Bliss in tonight’s match. Ember Moon, Bayley, Naomi, Natalya, Dana Brooke, Carmella and Mandy Rose are also scheduled for the bout.
