Sponsored WWE ring mats coming soon?
Added 2025-01-04 03:23:44 +0000 UTCWWE Smackdown isn't the only show getting a new ring mat.
The January 3 episode of Smackdown saw the show get a new blue ring mat, a stark change from the one that has existed prior. There was another on the ring earlier in the day, Fightful Select can confirm.
This afternoon ahead of WWE Smackdown, there was a black ring mat out in the ring. It also featured various logos, including a Fortnite logo where Prime's used to reside.
In two corners, Riyadh Season, with the other two corners being Real American Beer, Hulk Hogan's product. In addition, there were two Cricket logos, and single Netflix and Snickers logos.
We've not confirmed this will be used for WWE Raw, but it was intimated that it would be.

2025-01-04 05:39:43 +0000 UTCI mean, this has never really bothered me, I’ve never understood people being so hostile about this, aew and every other major sports association does this, if you’re focused on the ads and not the in ring stuff that’s a problem with the product not the ads

2025-01-04 04:55:20 +0000 UTCI'd prefer mat graphics if they'd removed the LED board graphics and also be cognizant of sponsor & match combos. Watching a women's match with DUDE WIPES fucking everywhere was horrible.
