While speaking with Jimmy Traina on the SI Media Podcast ahead of the premiere, Triple H was asked what fans can expect regarding the runtime for Raw and he stated that it will be flexible.
“It will be flexible. It will be flexible in I don’t necessarily know the time constraints of network television or cable television apply. It’s a slightly different platform. Much like many episodic shows, they have the ability to do whatever the show needs to have down. If this episode needs to be an hour, great, it’s an hour.
“If the next episode needs to be 42 minutes, it’s 42 minutes. It’s what makes for the best product. I’m not saying we’re going to be 42 minutes, but clearly we’ll deliver the product in a way that is best for Netflix and their business model and best for our storytelling.”
Stay tuned for more updates on Raw as they become available.
