WWE RAW Moving To Netflix In 2025
WWE RAW is moving to Netflix in 2025! The longest running episodic show in television history will be moving to the streaming platform in January 2025. According to CNBC, the deal is for ten years and $5 billion.
The announcement which was made this morning will be Netflix’s biggest step into live entertainment. The Instagram post making the announcement said the show will air every week all year. This completes WWE’s contract negotiations for their three television shows.
Late last year it was announced that their developmental show, NXT would move from USA Network to the CW Network. Friday Night Smackdown show will be moving from FOX Network back to USA Network. The final piece of the puzzle was announced this morning with WWE RAW moving to Netflix.
This will be the third home of WWE’s flagship show.
This partnership is one that will break new ground, and take @WWE to new heights. Thrilled to bring #WWERaw to @Netflix, coming January 2025.
