Netflix experienced several technical difficulties during the livestreaming of the match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Information has been released concerning WWE’s internal response to this incident.
Paul was the winner in Friday’s battle against Tyson, which was witnessed by an impressive 60 million households from all over the globe. However, the livestream was marred by multiple instances of buffering and connectivity issues. This has sparked questions among wrestling spectators about the potential implications for WWE’s RAW, set to move to the streaming platform in January.
Inside sources from WWE have been reported by Fightful Select expressing their assurance that any technological glitches will be kept to a minimum. They emphasized the large audience size and implied that handling such vast live-streaming traffic would be a beneficial challenge.
Netflix’s history with livestreaming smaller scales events like the reunion of “Love Is Blind” season four in April 2023, was also marred by certain technical issues.
The report also brought up an initial plan to have a live special for OVW’s Wrestlers. However, the idea did not turn into reality.
