If I pay for an ad-free version of Netflix, how will they handle Raw commercial breaks?

One, we don't know how the format of Raw will change when it goes to Netflix.  Two, I would think that if and when Raw "goes to commercial", they will handle it the way Peacock does currently for ad-free subscribers.  When they go to ads on WWE live broadcasts, the ad-free subscribers gets video packages on different talents.  I can see WWE and Netflix leaning that way.

In your mind, when does Indianapolis get Wrestlemania?

They have the Royal Rumbke in 2025.  In my mind, they should do Summerslam in 2026 and then cap it off with Wrestlemania in 2027.  That gives them a few years to promote and push Indy as the destination for that week.  But, that's just my thoughts.

Has there been any talk of moving WWE PLEs back to an 8 PM start?

No and let's hope they remain at 7 PM.  It makes life a lot easier for everyone involved, including those of us who work here at PWInsider.com!  

If AEW is going to keep doing these long PPVs, what would your suggestion be?

Start at 4 PM Eastern, but I don't believe that will happen.

Has there ever been any talk of Kurt Angle working as a Producer for WWE or AEW?

Angle did some producing for WWE in the past.  As far as I know, when AEW was interested in Angle, they wanted him to wrestle, which Angle wasn't interested in doing after his WWE run ended.
