Ambiguousness surrounds the duration of RAW after its shift to Netflix, leaving WWE Superstars in a cloud of uncertainty.
According to Fightful, at the final WWE RAW taping before the Yuletide period, there were Superstars who articulated their unawareness regarding the run time of the show after it migrates to Netflix on January 6th.
In the past, RAW’s runtime was condensed to two hours as an integral part of the contract renewal with the USA Network, effective from October until the end of the year, subsequently altering its longstanding three-hour format.
While the extension of SmackDown to a three-hour slot in 2025 was announced this Friday, the eventual duration of RAW on its new Netflix platform remains a mystery. A source from within the WWE suggested that Netflix operates with a degree of flexibility and doesn’t adhere to rigid time limits.
Currently basking in their festive hiatus, WWE Superstars are all set to hit the floor for the holiday tour this coming Thursday.
