WWE produces seven hours of live television each week and daily content across multiple platforms. That number does not include if its a premium live event week, because that ups the number significantly. Fans can consume content at their own pace but will rarely run out of things to watch.
Triple H said on The Pat McAfee Show that WWEs fan base loves content. However, scripting so much programming every week is challenging. Great stories take time to write, plan, and execute. Using real-life drama behind the scenes, which fans are aware of, provides a valuable source of content.
WWE airs three hours of RAW, which will move to Netflix in 2025. Starting next January, RAW will be uncensored, so it will be interesting to see what boundaries they cross. While still a family-friendly company, Endeavor might introduce more mature storylines. Currently, theres an angle involving Liv Morgan sexting Dominik Mysterio.
Adding in SmackDown, which is two hours, and NXT, another two-hour program, WWE offers a substantial amount of weekly content. With SmackDown moving to USA Network in October and RAW heading to Netflix, the future of their programming remains uncertain. Only time will tell if SmackDown becomes a three-hour weekly show as well.
