WWE Planning to Keep Raw at 3 Hours

According to F4WOnline.com, WWE has no immediate plans to shorten Raw to 2 hours. At this point, WWE management does realize the danger in producing too much content, however no changes will be made to the Raw 3 hour format at least until after Wrestlemania, but even that doesn't seem likely.
