News regarding WWE RAW continuing to have commercials when the show moves to Netflix
According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, the current plan is for there to be commercials on WWE RAW when the show moves to Netflix in January of 2025. Meltzer explained why there will be commercials…
“One of the reasons Netflix picked up Raw is because they are trying to add commercials to programming and the Raw and pro wrestling audience is used to commercials on the shows, but they can adjust a lot differently then on regular television such as when and how long the breaks are and not have the show to the second when it comes to that. The time can also adjust such as if they need longer to tell the story or want to go shorter, it’s not like they have to be off the air because another show is starting.”
RAW is expected to be a three-hour show on Netflix but nothing has been confirmed. It’s believed that the actual length of RAW each week on Netflix could fluctuate to make main event finishes less predictable since fans won’t know exactly when the show ends.
