32 WTF Moments From WWE Battleground

30. A Mid-Match Commercial Break On The Network...For The Network

It's been a long-time complaint of WWE Network users that the pre-show usually cuts to a commercial break during a match, which is bad enough, but it's even worse when the commercials are for the very product you've already bought: the WWE Network. That's right, a promo for the Battleground PPV itself and WWE Swerved aired, each encouraging fans to sign up, despite many of the people watching already having done so. Yes, the pre-show also airs on YouTube so it's clearly aimed at those users, but would it have killed the WWE to produce a separate stream for Network subscribers, so their money can let them watch the match uninterrupted rather than suffer through pointless commercials for things they've already bought?
