WWE Raw's debut on Netflix was a resounding success met with much fanfare around the world.Yet just one week later, many avid supporters were left scratching their heads.

The initial launch of WWE Raw on Netflix on January 6 was packed with special guest appearances, including John Cena and The Rock, with the runtime hitting three hours.

The show had a reported 4.9 million people streaming and Netflix revealed the showpiece made the global top 10 list.However, this week’s second episode on January 13 clocked in at two-and-a-half hours - with a full half hour cut out.

Fans felt duped as Raw was a two-hour show for the last three months while airing on the USA Network. And there was a promise by WWE hierarchy that it would not be restricted by time constraints anymore.However Triple H, also know as Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque, says they can be flexible about exactly how long each episode goes.
