In 2005, WWE moved Velocity & Heat (formerly Sunday Night Heat) to their website for online viewing after ending their contract with Spike TV (now Paramount Network), and moving Monday Night Raw back to USA Network.
19 years later, WWE is taking the next step, presenting its first series intended solely for social media. Enter WWE Speed.
2 matches per week, 3 minute time limit per match, at least for now, and the series begins with a tournament to crown the new brand's 1st champion. Corey Graves (Smackdown) goes it alone on commentary, as there's no room for a color analyst.
Fans are posting the matches on Reddit, which enables me to review the show.
Today's opener kicks off the tournament, and, believe me, you need to see these matches to see how this new format works. With a 3 minute time limit, there is no margin for error. Every second counts.
We're digging.
Rating: A.
