More Backstage News on the “Two Hours RAW” and Additional Plans For Netflix – More backstage details have surfaced regarding WWE’s decision to scale WWE Raw back to two hours for the final months of its run on the USA Network. As previously announced, Raw will shift to a two-hour format beginning October 7 and running through December 30, a decision that was reportedly made by USA Network.
In a new update, WrestleVotes has revealed that many WWE production and social media staff members learned about the change at the same time as fans, when WWE made the official announcement. This has reportedly caused some surprise within the company, as key members of the team were not informed ahead of time.
Additionally, WrestleVotes reports that one source within WWE has expressed excitement about the creative freedom that will come with the show’s upcoming move to Netflix in January 2025. The source indicated that WWE is “eagerly anticipating the freedom to vary run times as needed,” suggesting that the duration of Raw episodes on Netflix may not follow a fixed structure, and could change from week to week depending on the content of each show.
Despite the temporary switch to two hours on USA, it has been noted that Raw is expected to return to its three-hour format once it debuts on Netflix on January 6. However, given the flexibility that comes with streaming platforms, it seems that WWE may experiment with the length of episodes, leaving the door open for potential adjustments based on storylines, matches, and audience demand.
This shift to two hours could also offer a refreshing change for WWE Raw during its final run on the USA Network, before its transition to Netflix in the new year. Fans and insiders alike will be keeping a close eye on how these changes impact the pacing and storytelling of the show in the coming months.
