Raw will be available on Netflix starting in January, and the WWE Universe is quite excited about it. The new network may be used for a variety of purposes, and there will be no constraints on the product. As you are aware, WWE is now a PG product, so there is much less edgy stuff in the product, but on Netflix, there will be no limits at all. So, here are some of the potential adjustments to the show.
These adjustments were mentioned in the most recent edition of the podcast Insights with Chris Van. Backstage at the WWE, there is a lot of talk about the product after January, and the most suitable things may be guessed. Right now, it has been said that swearing will become more regular after Raw makes the transition to Netflix.

Although profanity will become more prevalent, WWE will have restrictions when it comes to its program containing nudity. WWE is currently mostly watched by youngsters, thus the corporation does not want to alienate that demographic. WWE’s pop culture has altered dramatically in recent years, and as a result, the company’s ability to produce more edgy material will be put in danger.
Chris Van stated in the podcast, “Where I do think Raw moving to Netflix is really going to change and really going to succeed here is it’ll allow the show to be more loose. And I don’t mean with scripts or storylines. I mean with timing……Well, I don’t think we’re going to be seeing nudity. I don’t think we’re going to be seeing, I don’t think that’s going to be happening whether it’s on Netflix or Showtime or anywhere else. I don’t think nudity is going to happen. Cussing, I feel like kind of already is a pop in wrestling.”

What’s your perspective on:
Will nudity on RAW's Netflix show ruin its legacy or bring in a new wave of fans?
Have an interesting take?
Not only will the aforementioned changes occur, but the contests themselves may become more severe. WWE has the ability to reinstate certain harmful stipulations, and blood can now be displayed on television more frequently. Although the bloody face thing will not be prevalent, some aspects of the show will undoubtedly be horrific.
Furthermore, Raw parts will be longer because there will be no ad breaks or anything else that has to be done. Nonetheless, the time of the entire event might change, and the firm can select how long the show will go. They can expand or contract it to suit their segments and storylines.
