WWE RAW currently airs for three hours and previously it was a two-hour program. Those three-hour broadcasts used to be special whenever WWE had a longer episode to present, but three hours every week can be tough for the fans. WWE President Nick Khan would make the show even longer if he could.
Nick Khan jokes about increasing WWE RAW runtime
While speaking to Ariel Helwani for BT Sport, Nick Khan expressed his desire to make RAW a four-hour show, because it would make the company more money. He would also make SmackDown an eight-hour show. Then he admitted that there is only so much television their wonderful creative team can create in a week. Asuka Calls Out ‘Removal’ From WWE Raw News
He said:
“Listen, from my point of view RAW would benefit from being four hours. So, we would get paid more money and SmackDown could be 8 hours, but I understand with our creative folks there’s only so much great content they can do on a weekly basis, so we’re good on the 3 and 2 basis.”
Nick Khan was certainly joking because the company has no intention to change RAW or SmackDown’s runtime. They seem happy with the current setup.
