Description
WWE is taking a major leap into the future of entertainment by partnering with Netflix. Starting in 2025, the company's flagship show, WWE Raw, will be exclusively available on Netflix...

For now, SmackDown and NXT will remain on their current channels, and Peacock will continue to be the streaming home for WWE's premium live events (like WrestleMania) and its extensive library of past content. So, while Raw is making the move, US fans will still need both Netflix and Peacock to get the complete WWE experience.
International fans have it a bit simpler. Outside the US, Netflix will become the comprehensive streaming home for all WWE weekly shows (Raw, SmackDown, NXT), premium live events, and the vast archive of classic matches and moments. This deal gives WWE a massive global reach and exposes the product to millions of potential new fans.
This partnership is a significant financial win for WWE, with reports indicating Netflix is paying around $500 million per year for the rights to Raw in the US. This substantial investment highlights the value WWE brings to the streaming world and underscores the growing importance of streaming platforms in the entertainment landscape.
While Vince McMahon may not be directly calling the shots on WWE's creative direction anymore (Triple H now leads that charge), this move to Netflix still represents a bold step away from the traditional way of doing things. It's a clear indication that WWE is embracing the future of entertainment and looking to innovate in how it delivers its unique brand of sports entertainment to a global audience.
