While WWE is already breaking records every week, making the current era of wrestling as one of the most successful ones in history, their massive deals with other companies have just been an icing on the cake. A couple of months ago, WWE announced that they had signed a multi-billion dollar deal with Netflix which will be the new home of Monday Night Raw. 

Since then, the WWE Universe has been excited to see the changes it could bring to the programming of the red brand and the different opportunities that open up for WWE once their deal started. 

In a recent report from Advanced Television, TKO executive Mark Shapiro and WWE Executive Nick Khan, both commented on Netflix diversifying its portfolio. While Shapiro ‘applauded the move’, Khan noted that the streaming platform’s extensive dominance in the entertainment sector made for an ideal home for the red brand. 

WWE Raw will be streaming on Netflix starting January 2025. However, the brand’s streaming rights with the USA Network end in October. WWE might have to begin streaming on Netflix before January or extend their deal with the USA Network for a couple of months.
