In a recent interview with the SI Media podcast, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque revealed that WWE considered moving WWE RAW to a different day on Netflix, before settling on the decision to remain on Monday nights.
“One of the things working best in WWE with the team of Nick Khan, Lee Fitting and many others, we’re all looking at what is the best way to do it, forget what we have and what’s on the table, let’s look at it with fresh eyes and say, if we were building this ground up, what would we do and how would we do it, take all the things we know and factor in the why’s and how’s.
Monday night was contemplated, is that a move off of Monday, is it stay on Monday, it’s also a 30-plus-year tradition, you have to factor that in, plus the business model and everything else, I’m a big believer that you can work around all of those things.
We weighed all of it out, as we always do with the partners and ourselves and we determined what was best and what was best was staying on Monday. You can move and understand the global nature of WWE and Netflix, yes Monday is NFL, but that is not a factor in a lot of the world, there were a lot of factors heavily weighed.”
