Someone is going to have to explain this: Why on Earth does WWE feel the need to launch a minute-long commercial for upcoming WWE Network programs during the middle of a match on the Network? They are literally pre-empting their own programming to advertise something they are going to plug multiple times later on during the PPV anyway. The people who tune in for the TLC kickoff show arent skipping the PPV itself, so youll be able to sell them on a program about road-tripping wrestlers later. There was absolutely no need to cut to commercial in the middle of the Becky Lynch versus Sasha Banks match. Its ridiculous when you consider that a major selling point of the Network is not having to watch commercials. This sadly isnt going to change, so its really just an empty complaint. But it still needs to be noted.
