Do they change the ropes entirely for the CWC matches? Or is just the lighting in the arena? If they do change them, that's gotta take up like 15-20 minutes each time, seems like a waste of time, unless they just do backstage promos during it,
shareThey change the ropes and the turnbuckle pads.

You've obviously never been to Raw live. It's amazing what the crew can do during a commercial break.

I have been to multiple, not since the new turnbuckles, but it's like I said a 15 minute process, just seems like a waste for some ugly ass purple ropes, I completely understand switching it up from superstars to raw but for the CWC its unnecessary,

Then, you saw the crew change the ropes from Superstars white to Raw red in a few minutes.

Hey man, I don't really want to keep arguing bout this because it's not that important, but that video is clearly cut, they are still working on the bottom rope almost 1 and a half minutes in, then a guy stands up, the video cuts, and they are finish the top. So they most certainly don't do it in under two minutes.
Actually I was at Night of Champions and they changed the ropes for the Cruiserweight match there as well and it was indeed in under two minutes. It was quite a site to watch to be honest with ya.
shareTheSteve239, my point was that if you were there live, then you saw them change the ropes in a few minutes. It took a longer than in the video but it didn't take 15 minutes like you kept insisting.

5:00. Not bad. Plenty of time to do it during a commercial break and a backstage segment.
You are sin.
It would make more sense to put the cruiserweight matches together so they don't have to redress the ring more than twice.
shareYou know, I'm wondering if there's a physical difference between the red ropes and the purple. Like, maybe the purple ropes have less give and are better for high-flying/springboard maneuvers.
shareThis person on Twitter put up a video clip, showing that they cover the ropes with purple tape for CW matches:

Thanks, now that makes more sense than taking the time to completely change them
