#2 WWE to have shorter PPVs

Reportedly, Vince McMahon was the reason behind MITB being such a short show. The PPV lasted less than 2 hours 30 minutes, making it the shortest WWE main roster PPV from the United States in over two decades. It was The Chairman who wanted the show to be short, and Vince McMahon reportedly wants all PPVs with no audiences to be short and concise.

As compared to earlier PPV's which had live audiences and mostly lasted over 3-4 hours, these new shorter PPVs will be a welcome change.

WrestlingNews.co had reported that Vince McMahon wanted Money in the Bank to be a shorter show. This is why we only saw very few matches on the card with Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins and the two MITB matches taking up most of the show's runtime.

Cageside Seats have stated:

He (Vince McMahon) apparently wants to keep PPV runtimes down while they’re running without fans.

It also makes sense as without an audience, most matches will seem dragged and the audience at home may lose interest. It is certainly an interesting decision by Vince McMahon and it will be intriguing to see how long the next WWE PPV - Backlash - will be.
