Netflix encountered some issues throughout the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson livestream, and a brand new report has shared details on WWE’s internal response.
Paul emerged victorious over Tyson at Friday’s event, which was viewed by 60 million households globally. The livestream experienced quite a few buffering and connectivity problems, leaving wrestling fans interested by how this might affect January when RAW transitions to the platform.
Fightful Select is reporting that WWE sources claimed they’d been given assurances that any glitches could be minimal, highlighting the audience numbers and suggesting that facing such livestream traffic could be a good issue.
Netflix has previously live-streamed smaller events, similar to the Love Is Blind season 4 reunion in April 2023, suffering from technical glitches.
The report also noted that a live special for OVW’s Wrestlers was initially considered, but it surely ultimately didn’t materialize.
