January 6th 2025.
The highly anticipated arrival of WWE on Netflix is finally here. After more than two decades on television, the long-running show is making its way to the popular streaming platform in just a few hours. This marks a huge milestone for both WWE and Netflix, as the streaming giant expands into live programming with the launch of Monday Night Raw at 1am tonight.
Since its debut in 1993, Monday Night Raw has become one of the longest running weekly episodic shows in television history, with a dedicated fan base from all over the world. Last week's episode marked the end of an era as Raw aired on traditional television for the last time before the historic $5 billion deal with Netflix. For fans in the UK, Netflix is now the only way to watch the professional wrestling juggernaut, and it is also exclusive to the platform in the US and beyond.
Starting tonight at 1am, fans can catch the first live edition of Raw on Netflix, with new episodes airing every Monday night for the next five years. On top of that, NXT will air on Tuesdays and SmackDown on Fridays, making for an action-packed week of WWE programming. But that's not all, as Netflix has already added a plethora of WWE content on New Year's Day as part of their deal.
While it may not be as niche as the WWE Network, Netflix now offers almost every historic WWE pay-per-view and premium live event, including popular shows like WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and Rebellion. Fans can also catch every NXT TakeOver and select episodes of Raw and SmackDown, with more content expected to be added in the coming months.
But it's not just about reliving the past, as Netflix has also added new content to their WWE collection. This includes a Best of Raw 2024 Special, short form series WWE Legends Profiles and WWE Superstars Profiles, WWE Raw Classics hosted by Big E, and a WWE Raw Top 10 series. And it seems like there are even more exciting projects in the works.
Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, has expressed their interest in creating documentaries and delving into the characters and storylines of WWE for a variety of projects. This opens up endless possibilities for collaborations between WWE superstars and Netflix, such as LA Knight's idea for an action drama with the talented Sydney Sweeney.
Knight has pitched the idea of a crossover universe project or a completely new character, and he envisions Sweeney as his ideal co-star. He even suggested the possibility of a mini-series or movie to showcase his acting skills outside of his wrestling persona. With so much potential, it's an exciting time for both WWE and Netflix.
Don't miss the debut of WWE Raw on Netflix tonight at 1am. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, please reach out to The Agency entertainment team. They can be contacted via email, phone, or by visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you!
