WWE CCO Paul 'Triple H' Levesque won't be too mad if Monday Night Raw sees buffering issues on Netflix similar to the Mike Tyson Vs. Jake Paul fight. The fight, which was watched by over 60 million households, saw several instances of buffering problems which greatly affected the viewing experience for those watching around the world.
These issues come mere weeks before WWE Raw moves to Netflix on January 6, 2025. Speaking to Greg and The Morning Buzz, Levesque suggested that he'd hardly complain if Raw buffered under the weight of 60 million fans tuning in.
If our first night buffers and they come and say it was 60-70 million households watching, I’ll be good with the buffering.
Netflix has ensured WWE that these issues won't be a problem when Raw arrives on the streaming juggernaut. Currently, WWE's flagship show does between 1.5 to 2.5 million live viewers, far below the number that affected the Paul Vs. Tyson fight.
Other Interview Highlights
During the interview, Levesque spoke about several topics related to WWE. They include:
- Levesque took issue with older wrestlers who criticize the modern-day style. He said it's akin to older people saying that they had 'real music' back in the day, adding that "you're just old."
- He added that nobody texts him when he's at a WWE TV taping as they know he won't answer as he's committed to his work.
- Levesque said that WWE will "die" if the show becomes about what he personally wants, and that its important to think about the "overall big picture."
