WWE Moves to Netflix in 2025

WWE is set to debut its weekly live show 'Raw' on Netflix starting January 6, 2025, marking a significant shift from its previous home on the USA Network, which averaged 688,000 viewers compared to Netflix's 283 million potential subscribers. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque (Triple H) expressed that this transition could be more impactful than the legendary Attitude Era, highlighting the potential for a transformative 'Netflix Era' in professional wrestling. While fans are concerned about the availability of classic content, WWE has promised that 'select programming and historic PLEs' will be accessible, with some events already appearing on Netflix UK. The move allows WWE more creative freedom regarding content restrictions, as they won't need to censor curse words or graphic scenes as strictly. The transition is also part of Netflix's strategic expansion into live events, following a successful boxing match that attracted over 60 million viewers. WWE continues to promote this shift through various channels, including collaborations with popular artists like Travis Scott.
