WWE RAW on Netflix Debut to Feature 3.5-Hour Runtime – Excitement continues to build as more updates emerge regarding tonight’s historic premiere of WWE RAW on Netflix. Fans can expect a significantly extended show, marking a departure from the previous format seen on USA Network.
In a recent interview, Triple H confirmed that the move to Netflix allows RAW to benefit from a flexible runtime. He highlighted the new platform’s potential for enhanced creative freedom and improved pacing. This flexibility is expected to play a key role in shaping the tone and flow of the weekly program moving forward.
According to WrestleVotes, the inaugural Netflix episode is set to run approximately 3.5 hours, a notable increase from the traditional two-hour format WWE RAW reverted to in October 2024. The source notes that while “minor adjustments are possible,” the final runtime is anticipated to fall within this extended range.
This adjustment comes amid renewed discussions about show lengths following SmackDown’s recent shift to a three-hour weekly broadcast on USA Network. However, it remains unclear whether the extended format for RAW will be a one-time special or a recurring feature.
With a packed show expected tonight, featuring potential surprises, Royal Rumble promotion, and appearances by top NXT stars, the longer runtime offers WWE the opportunity to deliver a dynamic presentation. Fans will soon witness how the increased length impacts the pacing and overall presentation of RAW in its new home on Netflix.
The historic broadcast kicks off at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, marking the dawn of a new era for WWE’s flagship program.
