Actor O’Shea Jackson Jr, who is a big WWE fan, says that he told Triple H and Stephanie McMahon that the excessive amount of ads on WWE PLE’s on ESPN are a big issue with the current product.
Jackson says he told them about the issue with the ads when he appeared on Stephanie McMahon’s podcast in January. “I told this to Triple H and Stephanie when I did Stephanie’s show,” Jackson said during an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show today. “I told them, the ads and the timing of them are horrendous.

Jackson said there were certain times where WWE should not be advertising things during a PLE. “I get it, Roman Reigns’ entrance is seven minutes long, but that doesn’t mean that’s the time to throw the ads in.” said Jackson. “I should not — there should never be a moment where I miss Iyo Sky’s entrance because ‘we are back from commercial break.’ It’s a level of respect for them. It’s fine in the middle of a match, but at least picture-in-picture me.”
