In a week that saw two shows that broadcast three hours of programming, we saw a record amount of wrestling this week. We saw a 20 minute increase over last week’s totals. This was aided by AEW Dark providing us with 97 minutes of wrestling and Raw having more than 60 minutes of wrestling for the week.
The longest match of the week was the Heritage Cup Finals on NXT UK while the Opera Cup match between Rocky Romero and Tom Lawlor finished as the second longest match of the week.
With another 17 matches already announced for next week, maybe we will break the 100 minute barrier for a single show.
This week’s episode of AEW Dark was 180 minutes and 205 Live was 30 minutes. This will be reflected in the totals for the shows.
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.
