WWE To Sign New Deal With Netflix

WWE is aiming for big business in 2024, and the upcoming TV deal will bring in a lot of revenue.

There has been a lot of speculation as to where RAW will go after its contract with USA Network ends, but we now have an answer as RAW is set to move to Netflix in 2025.

WWE announced on its corporate website that the company and Netflix have announced a groundbreaking long-term partnership that will bring WWE’s signature weekly show RAW to the global streaming service.

Starting in January 2025, Netflix will only host Raw in the US, Canada, UK, and Latin America, gradually expanding to additional territories.

The deal applies to all WWE shows and specials outside of the United States, including premium live events such as SmackDown, NXT and WrestleMania.

Mark Shapiro, president and chief operating officer of TKO, emphasized the transformative nature of this partnership and said that combining WWE’s must-see productions with Netflix’s global reach will help grow in the years to come.

He also said it would guarantee significant and predictable economic benefits over the long term.

Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria expressed excitement about bringing WWE Raw to Netflix, with the goal of bringing more enjoyment and value to both WWE and Netflix viewers.

He has 1,600 episodes to date and has been a cornerstone of sports entertainment since his debut in 1993, providing action, drama and sportsmanship all year round.

The show is currently No. 1 on USA Network, attracting 17.5 million unique viewers annually and performing well in the 18-49 demographic.
