Here's a bit of live insight from a fan who was there in the arena.

On Reddit, they claimed that WWE's live format has changed. Instead of matches continuing with rest holds or stalling during commercial breaks, they just stopped. The ring lights were darkened and ads/promos were shown on the tron instead.

That's...odd. They also said that matches continued like nothing had happened when the show returned from an ad break. Must've been jarring for the crowd.
