Netflix UK is officially making room for WWE’s massive library as placeholder pages for weekly shows and pay-per-views have quietly gone live. This development gives fans a sneak peek into what’s coming in January as WWE shifts its UK streaming presence—but not without a few head-scratchers.

Pay-per-views are set to drop on January 1, while NXT and SmackDown pages list January 10 as their release dates. However, one glaring omission raises eyebrows: there’s no placeholder for the January 3 episode of SmackDown. With WWE’s current UK deal with TNT Sports reportedly ending December 31, the transition to Netflix has fans asking whether the January 3 show will be left out entirely.

What’s also missing are placeholder pages for WCW, ECW pay-per-views, or even NXT TakeOver events. For now, it looks like Netflix is prioritizing WWE’s flagship shows, leaving fans to wonder if the classic and niche content will ever see the light of day on the platform.

This rollout hints at a major shift in how UK fans will experience WWE programming, but it also leaves some unanswered questions about how seamless the move will be.
