Monday Night Raw on Netflix could be undergoing a significant adjustment in its advertising structure following numerous complaints from viewers.

Since WWE's debut on Netflix in 2025, one of the most repeated criticisms by fans has been the high number of ads during Raw broadcasts. According to WrestleVotes Radio via Fightful Select, the company has decided to reduce the number of commercial breaks per program.

Specifically, Raw has gone from the 12 planned commercial breaks initially to a total of 10, a change that would have already been implemented in the episode aired this same week.

No confirmation on the duration of the ads

At the moment, it has not been specified whether this reduction in the number of commercial breaks will imply that the ad blocks will be longer, or if it simply represents a real decrease in the total time dedicated to advertising during the program.

The adjustment suggests that WWE and Netflix are listening to audience feedback, especially at a crucial moment to establish Raw as one of the platform's top weekly contents.
