There has been some confusion circulating the web about RAW’s 25th Anniversary show that is airing on January 22nd. We are here to kill some rumors about the length of the show.
The confusion began when the Television Critics Association Twitter account posted that the episode would be 5 hours long. Here is their original Tweet:
This is one boss couple. @StephMcMahon and @TripleH gave us a sneak peek at January 22nd’s #Raw25. Cameos and matches are still coming together, but the 5 hour event promises to be one for the history books #TCA18 (Photo by Frederick M.

It turns out this was just worded poorly. Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet says that RAW will be the usual 3 hours long:
LRT – Raw 25 isn’t gonna be 5 hours. The dual location thing is what confused things.
A rep for WWE says the show that airs on TV will be 3 hours.

The Television Critics Association account also clarified their original comments.
Just for clarity, #Raw25 will air in its usual 3 hour slot on @USA_Network on Monday, 1/22. #tca18 https://t.co/8w1p61nwso
