WWE RAW returned to a two-hour format in October, and the switch will last for the remainder of the show’s time on USA Network. However, a new report provides an update on RAW returning to three hours.
Per Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the WWE RAW on Netflix debut on January 6 will mark the return of the three-hour format. Additionally, SmackDown on USA Network will quickly follow suit, but additional details were not provided. There is no word on whether the move will be permanent or temporary.
Johnson also writes that WWE has been working on creative for the Netflix premiere, and they aim to make it a big show. The report notes that there has been some talk of potential returns that night.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
Roman Reigns On WWE Raw’s Netflix Debut
Speaking with SI Media with Jimmy Traina, Roman Reigns confirmed that he would be at the WWE RAW on Netflix premiere. However, he stated that his schedule beyond that was not set.
“It seems like that’s what a lot of people are saying,” Roman Reigns said. “I’m not exactly sure. Honestly, I’m just trying to get to the premiere. I’m on the premiere. I don’t think I can share too much more than that at this point. We haven’t scheduled my exact dates for going into WrestleMania from Rumble forward. But that is definitely a topic that has to be addressed.
“It’s a very understandable one for the impact, the amount of money that’s a part of this deal. I completely understand, so these are all great problems to have. Nobody loves being in the tug of war more than me. It usually works out pretty good.”
