RAW is Netflix
 
Per Variety (and other places), RAW will stream exclusively on Netflix beginning in January 2025.

Quote:

In a major shakeup, WWE has struck a deal with Netflix that will see its flagship weekly live pro wrestling show begin airing exclusively on the streaming giant beginning in January 2025. That will mark the first time in its three-decade history that “Raw” has not aired new episodes on a linear television network.

According to sources with knowledge of the deal, it is valued at $500 million per year and runs for 10 years. By comparison, sources also say WWE’s current five-year deal for “Raw” with NBCUniversal is worth approximately $250-260 million per year.

The subscription price is about to go through the roof

I do wonder what the ad situation will be (because there will be ads).

Peacock shows a bunch of WWE shop things when the regular subscribers get commercials. So I guess if you're on the "premium" plan, get ready for DX to come back and shill!

The full press release says that, outside of the US, Netflix will also be getting Smackdown and NXT where available, as well as Summerslam, the Royal Rumble, and Wrestlemania. That sounds to me like the international version of WWE Network will be slowly killed off.

Unlike the abrupt killing of the US Network where they took their sweet time moving everything to Peacock, they could take a more careful approach in moving things to Netflix. Maybe the goal would be to have everything on Netflix by 2026, which is when the Peacock deal is up.

As someone who enjoys watching old stuff I'd be thrilled if it ends up on Netflix. Peacock is by far the worst UI of any streaming service I've used and it's never seemed to have gotten any better.

Yeah, no thanks. I want to catch raw, I 'll just "watch wrestling".

If this is going to jack up my subscription even more, I'll ditch Netflix altogether and jump back into NJPW World.

$500 Million a year, holy shit! That is more than they are making per year now for Raw, Smackdown, and NXT.

And it's all thanks to CM Punk.

There are levels to this. UFC rights deal coming up. Going to be interesting.

Jordan 01-26-2024 07:22 AM

If UFC goes to Netflix I'll nut. But I can definitely see myself watching Raw next year on Netflix.

Pretty big deal. It’s pretty huge that all their international deals seem to be heading to Netflix too.
