As PWMania.com previously reported, WWE talents were kept in the dark and have no idea of the exact duration of RAW once it moves to Netflix in January. One source in the WWE mentioned that Netflix has no time constraints, meaning the red brand could return as a three-show after SmackDown was recently confirmed to be a three-hour show starting January 3rd, 2025.
In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that a key WWE player has confirmed that RAW will expand to a three-hour show once it debuts on Netflix on January 6th, 2025.
Meltzer said, “While everyone expects this, it was confirmed by someone who is a key player in WWE that RAW will be three hours come January to go along with SmackDown being three hours.”
