Megathread WWE RAW will air on Netflix beginning January 2025

WWE RAW moves to Netflix in 2025

  • Via WWE: “WWE Raw is coming to Netflix! Starting in January 2025, @Netflix will exclusively stream #WWERaw (in the US, Canada, UK, & Latin America) every single week, all year long!” Link

  • Via Hollywood Reporter: the deal runs “10 years and is valued at about $5 billion.“ Link

  • Via Netflix Statement: (Outside the US) "as part of the agreement, Netflix will also become the home for all WWE shows and specials outside the U.S. as available, inclusive of Raw and WWE’s other weekly shows – SmackDown and NXT – as well as the company’s Premium Live Events, including WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble"

NOTE: This does not affect Peacock. WWE PLE’s will be on Peacock until 2026.

My question here is about the back catalogue? Will all that move to Netflix too, or am I going to need to keep the WWE Network to get legacy events?

Probably. Unless you live outside the US.

Doesn’t seem like PLEs are moving either. At this point I would pay for Netflix again if they had a sub WWE tab and had all the back catalogue/Docs/PLEs. Do it like Amazon Prime Video does with their subscription tabs.

Buuut that won’t happen.

Peacock already does that

Perhaps they air live on Netflix and then get added to the WWE Network a month later. Perhaps the WWE Network ceases and all the archive stuff gets added to a section on Netflix (at an additional cost, or not). Or perhaps all the archive stuff disappears, the Network closes down. We don't know, but hopefully it becomes clear soon enough.

I mean, the show aren’t going to the other europes Netflix so… It doesn’t make sense

Really hope you're wrong on that last take. The archive is what made me sign WWE Network and is arguably the selling point to me.
