WWE Raw Netflix Potential Change: Backstage Uncertainty Explained

There seems to be some behind-the-scenes buzz about a possible shift coming to WWE Raw once it switches over to Netflix on January 6th. The confirmation from WWE that SmackDown will be extending to three hours on the USA Network starting with the January 3rd episode has sparked questions about what might be in store for Raw.

After operating as a two-hour show for the past few months due to a short extension in their TV deal with the USA Network, many are curious about whether Raw will follow suit with an extended runtime, especially with its move to Netflix on the horizon.

In a recent report by Fightful Select, it was revealed that at the final Raw taping before Christmas, the talent was still in the dark about the show’s length once it transitions to Netflix. Despite inquiries made over recent months, WWE has not provided a definitive answer on the matter.

While no concrete information has been shared, it’s been mentioned that Netflix offers more flexibility, which could potentially impact the length of Raw’s episodes. As of now, no official announcement has been made, but there’s hope that more details will be released soon.
