Triple H "can't even express" significance of major impending WWE change - "We found ourselves in this wild spot"
WWE's flagship program, RAW, has been one of the most entertaining pro wrestling shows for decades. RAW is known for its three-hour format, which is now being changed.
WWE RAW will switch to a two-hour format starting next week. While this will continue for the remainder of the year on the USA Network, the program's duration on Netflix is still unknown.
During the Bad Blood Press Conference, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H addressed the situation and revealed that RAW's runtime on Netflix was still undecided.
The Game added that the difference between the two formats was massive, and some major changes might be seen if the show is allotted two hours in 2025.
"When I find that out, I will let you know. RAW goes down to two hours. What does that do for us? Hour less show. We found ourselves in this wild spot. If you had asked me a few years ago, three hours was just—the difference between two and three is like night and day. I can't even express to you how much different that is," Triple H said.
