WWE is heading to Netflix, starting with Monday Raw

The WWE and all its content is coming to Netflix’s streaming platform. The drama and storylines of WWE play out across multiple shows: Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and then live events like Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. Previously, these shows were on cable or via the WWE subscription service, which could be limiting. With WWE being available as part of the standard Netflix fee, it makes the hobby much more accessible.

However, there are some regional wrinkles that make the deal a little more complicated. For example, US Netflix users will not be able to watch Smackdown, NXT and live events, leaving them only able to access Rawthe weekly flagship show. Each show maintains separate schedules; For example, NXT is used as a “feeder league” for up-and-coming talent. Raw is also a three-hour event, leading to more stories, promos and interviews spread throughout the matches.

This week Raw features a spectacularly stacked card, featuring battles between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, and Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley squaring off in the Women’s World Championship. Raw streams every Monday at 9pm Eastern and the show can be viewed immediately after the live stream ends. WWE programming can also be downloaded 48 hours after it streams on Netflix.

Netflix will expand WWE to more regions in the future in 2025 and 2026. Past WWE events are also archived on Netflix, with new categories for SummerSlam, Hell in a Cell, the Royal Rumble. As a Canadian, I enjoy exploring this past content. Most annual events have only had one or two previous specials uploaded so far, but I can see archives of them Raw And Smackdown all the way back to the beginning of the shows. Hopefully sooner or later my American friends can join in the fun.
