During a recent appearance on Greg & The Morning Buzz, WWE Chief Creative Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque addressed concerns about potential buffering or streaming issues for the upcoming WWE Raw debut on Netflix on Monday, January 6, 2025. The debut edition of Raw on Netflix will be held at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
Triple H acknowledged the previous streaming difficulties during the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event, which experienced buffering issues despite being viewed in 60 million households. Below are some highlights from the interview (via Fightful):
Triple H on Buffering During Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Fight:
“I don’t want to flex about it, but it was buffering on my end because I was on a plane watching it. The buffering was expected on my side. We were flying back from TV watching the fight and the signal was wonky. I thought, ‘We’re 40,000 feet in the air, it should be.’”
Triple H on not minding buffering issues for Raw if it’s being viewed in 60-70 million homes:
“Then, seeing it online of everybody saying it was buffering. You start putting 60 million households all at once on a streaming service, if our first night buffers and they come and say there were 60-70 million households watching, I’ll be good with the buffering.”
