World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has inked a historic 10-year deal with Netflix, marking a seismic shift in its three-decade history.
Starting January 2025, the flagship weekly live pro wrestling show, “Raw,” will exclusively air on Netflix, departing from traditional linear television networks.
The deal, valued at approximately $500 million annually, signifies WWE’s strategic embrace of the streaming era.
Under the agreement, Netflix becomes the global home for all WWE shows and specials outside the U.S., encompassing popular weekly programs like SmackDown and NXT.
Furthermore, Netflix will stream marquee live events such as WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble, while offering WWE documentaries, original series, and upcoming projects on-demand globally, excluding the U.S. where Peacock retains domestic rights.
