The premiere episode of WWE RAW on Netflix lasted three hours, while this week’s show ran for just over two-and-a-half hours.
WWE Chief Creative Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque has already stated that the duration of RAW on Netflix will be adaptable.
As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, the runtimes of the January 6th and January 13th episodes are not the official duration for RAW in the future. WWE has a target duration that it aims to achieve each week on Netflix.
The length of this week’s episode of RAW wasn’t a surprise, as WWE had planned dark matches for the show.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that WWE aims to have a “sweet spot” of two and a half hours. However, this “can and has changed over time.”
