One benefit of the shorter 5 match PLE strategy is that they do have more payoff matches on TV again.

Feel like that was more common back in the 90s when there were fewer PPVs and you would payoff some stories before the PPV.

Having stuff like Bron / Jey, Wyatts/American Made, Reed vs Braun on regular weeks for the payoff makes the product seem more real and alive IMO.

Needs to be tweaked a little bit still for stuff like the mid-card and tag titles to get some PLE shine every once in a while (Still think 6 matches would be perfect instead of 5) but overall it does make the product seem more real than every storyline waiting 4-8 weeks to culminate at a PPV.

To be fair to AEW they have done a good job of this too at times when they had a more limited PPV schedule and would payoff some fueds on TV.
