WWE Clash of Champions 2017 match times stats breakdown

WWE's Clash of Champions 2017 lasted for 2 hours 45 minutes and 56 seconds (2h 45m 56s). Here is a breakdown of the timing for every single second of the show, in chronological order.

The matches are in bold. The "pre-match" segments include video packages, entrances, ring introductions, and any verbal promos that occur right before a match officially begins. The "post-match" segments include any celebrations, replays, angles, attacks, or promos that occur right after a match is finished.

Match Times

The 6 matches combined for a total time of 1h 21m 58s. This means that 49.4% of the show was devoted to bell-to-bell action. This is the 60th highest percentage in this category out of the 68 WWE pay-per-view (PPV) events in my data set, which begins with Royal Rumble 2013.

Here is the sorted list of match times for Clash of Champions 2017. This also includes where each match time ranks out of all 486 matches in my data set.

Three matches received the special treatment of a dedicated video package right before superstar entrances. The videos hyping Charlotte's match (3m 27s), Nakamura's match (3m 21s), and Mahal's match (3m 50s) combined to take up 10m 38s of the pre-match segment time.

Post-match Segments

The post-match segments combined for a total time of 14m 38s, which is 8.8% of the show. This is the 36th highest percentage in this category out of the 68 events in my data set.

Miscellaneous Segments

That leaves about 12.3% (20m 26s) of the show for everything else. This is the 32nd highest percentage in this category out of the 68 events in my data set.

Most of these miscellaneous segments are crammed into the time after one post-match segment ends and before the next pre-match segment begins. Clash of Champions 2017 included 6 different blocks of miscellaneous segments. Here is how long each block lasted, in chronological order:

• Block 1: 3m 14s (Then Now Forever; Opening hype video)
• Block 2: 3m 52s (Ads for WWE Shop & Royal Rumble 2018; Backstage w/ Bryan & Shane, Corbin)
• Block 3: 1m 42s (Ads for Elite Ring & Tapout; Plug for PPV theme song)
• Block 4: 5m 06s (Ads for WWE Mayhem & WWE Network; Backstage w/Singhs; Hype for Talking Smack)
• Block 5: 4m 30s (Lesnar on Raw; Ads for Cricket Wireless & Royal Rumble 2018; Owens & Zayn promo)
• Block 6: 2m 02s (Hype for Mixed Match Challenge; Filler commentary)

Summary

The overall run time for Clash of Champions 2017 was 2h 45m 56s, and this ranks 58th highest out of all 68 events in my data set.

Here is a listing of how much total show time was allocated for each match when you add up all 3 components: pre-match time, match time, and post-match time. This list also includes where each total time ranks among the 486 entries in my data set.

• 36m 21s: Nakamura & Orton vs. Owens & Zayn (56th longest out of 486 entries)
• 35m 27s: AJ Styles vs. Jinder Mahal (65th)
• 24m 27s: Charlotte Flair vs. Natalya (177th)
• 22m 24s: Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way (208th)
• 19m 00s: Corbin vs. Roode vs. Ziggler (270th)
• 7m 51s: Breezango vs. Bludgeon Brothers (472nd)

Now here is a look at the "Match Time Percentage" for each match. For any given match, this percentage shows how the match time compares to the combined pre-match and post-match segment time. For some context, it's good to know that the median result here since 2013 is 62.8%.

(Here's an example calculation: an entry with a match time of 6m 00s, pre-match time of 3m 00s, and a post-match time of 1m 00s has a score of 60.0%, because the match time of 6m 00s is 60% of the total sum of 10m 00s for all three components.)

• 64.7%: AJ Styles vs. Jinder Mahal
• 63.6%: Corbin vs. Roode vs. Ziggler
• 59.2%: Nakamura & Orton vs. Owens & Zayn
• 57.6%: Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way
• 43.1%: Charlotte Flair vs. Natalya
• 25.1%: Breezango vs. Bludgeon Brothers
