WWE Raw to make Netflix its new home
Exclusive deal will see iconic wrestling show stream on Netflix from January 2025
The legendary weekly wrestling show will be available to stream starting in January 2025.
The landmark deal will see Raw leave its longtime home on NBCUniversal's USA Network and become exclusive to Netflix in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Latin America, and other territories.
The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but it is believed to be worth in the region of $5 billion.
WWE Raw is the longest-running weekly episodic television show in US primetime history, having debuted on January 11, 1993.
The show has been a ratings juggernaut for WWE, regularly drawing millions of viewers each week.
The move to Netflix is a major coup for the streaming giant, which is looking to bolster its live sports offerings.
It is also a significant blow to NBCUniversal, which has been the home of Raw since its inception.
It is unclear how the move to Netflix will impact Raw's format and content.
However, it is likely that WWE will make some changes to the show in order to appeal to Netflix's global audience.
