With WWE Raws Netflix debut just around the corner on January 6, fans are asking one big question: how will commercials fit into the mix? Triple H, WWEs Chief Content Officer, shared his thoughts on the matter during an appearance on The Press Box, giving fans a glimpse into the challenges and benefits of commercials on the streaming giant.
While commercial-free programming may sound like a win for viewers, Triple H pulled back the curtain on just how challenging it can be to execute live television without breaks.
Despite the complexities, Triple H reassured fans that the new format on Netflix will be more manageable for the team and could lead to a smoother viewing experience overall.
Addressing criticism about commercials on traditional TV, Triple H set the record straight. It makes me laugh whenever people say, Theres so many commercials this week. Well, same exact amount of commercials we had last week. Ill give you that maybe we didnt do as good of a job of managing the time in between the commercials, but its the same amount of commercials. We didnt change anything. The formats the same.
Triple H didnt hold back when explaining the balancing act of commercials and live television, especially as WWE Raw transitions to Netflix. With a promise of a smoother, more manageable format, it seems WWE is ready to tackle the streaming era head-on. Whether its adjusting to fewer ad breaks or navigating the challenges of live production, one things for sure: the Game is always ready to adapt.
