Venue announced for WWE Elimination Chamber 2025, Raw and Smackdown set to be 3-hour shows in Netflix era

Some crucial updates in regard to WWE await the fans. The venue for the Elimination Chamber 2025 has been decided. It is set to take place on the 1st of March at the Rogers Centre in Canada's Toronto. Likewise, Raw and Smackdown's weekly shows are likely to gain significant leverage. They are likely to be 3-hour shows in the Netflix era.

In 2024, the Elimination Chamber took place in Australia's Optus Stadium in Perth. It was a grand success given some of the best matches like the Men's Chamber match, the Women's Chamber match, the tag team match between the Judgement Day and the duo of Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne, and the Grayson Waller show.

The main event of the night featured Rhea Ripley taking on Nia Jax at her home. Fans expect the Elimination Chamber 2025 to be much better, especially given the potential participation of John Cena. There is a good chance of him winning it to get a shot at the world title at WrestleMania. 

WWE Smackdown and Raw are set to have 3-hour shows on Netflix

Toronto might be a good place for Cena given the history. There are other major events which might be planned for the night. Additionally, a report has claimed Raw and Smackdown weekly shows to last three hours every week. Currently, they are being reduced to just two hours a week.

After WWE's contract with Peacock came to an end, Raw was reduced to two hours. It has led to many stars not being featured on shows regularly. It looks like Netflix and the WWE management are looking to put an end to it. An extension of an hour means a lot to the wrestlers.

The ones in the mid-card contention will get better screen time, which is highly essential, given how stacked the roster is. Fans claimed it to be good news as they could potentially get to see a lot of stars in action every week. Reports claim that the news has been received well by the locker room.
