Report: WWE Raw To Be 3 Hours On Netflix

WWE Monday Night Raw reportedly won't be a two-hour show again for very long. 

It was announced during the September 9 episode of Raw that WWE's flagship show will become a two-hour programme for the final months on the USA Network from October 7 until the end of 2024. The show will air from 8 pm ET to 10 pm ET. 

WWE Raw will move to Netflix in the new year and Dave Meltzer has reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Raw will become a three-hour programme following the move to streaming. 

"It's a three-hour show when they move back to Netflix. Yeah, I had it confirmed a few minutes ago," Meltzer said before addressing the switch to two hours, adding: "The basic situation is that it was a USA Network call, not a WWE call. I am not sure why. It will boost the ratings of the show because they won't have that third hour that drags down the average but I'm not sure exactly why USA made the call."

WWE Raw will air on Netflix from January 6, 2025 as part of a 10-year deal. In addition, WWE NXT, SmackDown and the company's pay-per-views will air on Netflix internationally, including in the United Kingdom. 

Monday Night Raw was initially a one-hour show in 1993 before it moved to two hours in 1997. Raw expanded to three hours from Raw 1000 in July 2012.
