Having established a jugular grip on the audience long before the streaming industry was even deemed an industry, Netflix prides itself in its mostly smooth running. And anytime there is news of the steamer freezing, it is more of a pat on the back earned from the hype of original shows such as Stranger Things. However, as WWE Raw moves to Netflix, bearing fans that are more interested in a grand slam rather than a pat on the back, it raised major concerns, which were not very adequately answered by Triple H recently.

The streamer has already gotten a test run of what WWE Raw's onboarding could look like with the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight, and social media was a testament to the entourage of complaints about buffering live streams and frozen live feeds. Addressing the issue, Triple H stated that if the first night buffers due to "60-70 million households watching," then he would be "okay with the buffering," in a chat with Greg & The Morning Buzz. Unsurprisingly, fans were surprised.

It was reported on various accounts that the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight was watched by over 60 Million households on Netflix, a phenomenon that is to be expected now that WWE Raw is moving to the streamer. Therefore, while it does explain why the streamer would lag, it gave fans no solution as to how they could seamlessly enjoy the match, leading to hilariously chaotic reactions.

Fans divided over Triple H's Netflix defense

While the wrestling matches are not coming to Netflix until next year, fans have decided to contradict the freezing and buffering live streams and feeds as they demand a solution. And as Triple H attempted to provide some solace, it only went on to tickle their feathers rather than relax their nerves.

Fans had a good laugh over Triple H's explanation as they joked about how he does not care about the buffering as long as the shows and numbers go on.

Triple H's laid-back explanation also ignited a comparison between the current Chief Content Officer for WWE, him, and the former CEO of WWE, Vince McMahon, as certain fans were of the belief that he would have gotten the problem fixed as soon as possible. Regardless, whether Triple H's approach was nonchalant, or he just believes Netflix will fix the issue before time will only be cleared when WWE Raw comes to town.
