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".

ClockShot 01-23-2024 09:54 AM

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

xrodmuc316 01-23-2024 09:55 AM

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

rez 01-23-2024 10:21 AM

Holy balls mahoney

Big Vic 01-23-2024 10:21 AM

And it's all thanks to CM Punk.

Ben Rodrigues 01-24-2024 06:58 AM

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

Jordan 01-26-2024 08:22 AM

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

Mr. Nerfect 01-28-2024 07:27 AM

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

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 08:53 PM

Gonna tune in to RAW LIVE for the first time in a long time.... we shall see how long I can last....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:06 PM

Pretty sweet intro setup with the projections on the tarps around the ring

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:07 PM

Circular mic flag..... gross looking......

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:09 PM

The Rock is here and the fans going banana

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:10 PM

Cool minimalized stage/ramp.... wonder if permanent....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:13 PM

Black ring mat crawling with sponsors...... surprised it took them this long to do that...

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:17 PM

How long until we get evil Netflix execs authority figures

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:18 PM

Rock not a heel anymore and thanking Cody Rhodes........ but what about that mysterious thing that Rock gave Cody after Mania?! Warning him that he would be back.....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:20 PM

Overall pointless promo.... cool..... Now Rock hugging Cody....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:21 PM

Opening wit Solo/Roman..... would have been better to somehow have Rock involved in this rather than pointless promo.....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:24 PM

Roman's new song still sucks..... doesn't have the same "majesty".......

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:29 PM

oh no

fans chanting "f*** you Solo" and it not being censored.....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:30 PM

30 minutes in..... about to start the first match.... but cutting to a hype package instead....

DrA 01-06-2025 09:33 PM

It says that my device doesn’t support Live Streaming, fuck this shit.

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:35 PM

What the heck kinda device is that

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:37 PM

Hitting someone with the announce table monitor just isn't as impactful as when it was a big heavy rectangular CRT beast

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:38 PM

Solo tossing the stairs at Roman...... reminds me of the time I went to a house show and Braun Strowman just continually threw the stairs at Roman.... my non-wrestling fan friend laughed at that.....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:39 PM

Never heard the word "ulafala" as many times as I have in the past 20 minutes.....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:40 PM

Weird dips to black for commercials but then coming right back to the action.....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:43 PM

Boring ass match......

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:47 PM

My attention is officially lost......

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:51 PM

Sami and Jimmy out for the save..... after the damage was already done and Roman had to kick out of the spike all by himself....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 09:54 PM

Ulafala

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 10:00 PM

Jackie Redmond.... nice.....

Cool interview spot in front of the crowd..... old school.....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 10:05 PM

Damn at the Royal Rumble being in Saudi Arabia in 2026..... not only will it be at some random time of day, but the fans won't have the same energy, and Goldberg is probably going to win.....

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 10:08 PM

Johnald Cena is here!!!

Lock Jaw 01-06-2025 10:21 PM

Liv Morgan hot braud

Raquel Rodriguez looking like Mexicool Juventud Guerrera
