Paul Heyman Returns On WWE SmackDown, CM Punk Joins The OG Bloodline
During a recent appearance on the "Greg & The Morning Buzz" podcast, WWE Chief Creative Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque discussed whether WWE expects any buffering or streaming issues for the debut of WWE RAW on Netflix in January.
As you may know, the Netflix livestream for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight experienced several buffering and connectivity issues, even though it was watched in 60 million homes.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: "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.'"
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."
