On January 6, WWE Raw will debut on Netflix, marking the beginning of a groundbreaking partnership between WWE and the streaming giant. This multi-billion-dollar deal signals a new era for WWE’s flagship show, but it also raises questions about the future of its extensive archive and the accessibility of past and live events. Netflix has provided some clarity on these topics, revealing plans for both archival content and live programming.
One key question centers on WWE’s vast library of past shows. According to Netflix, fans should anticipate a gradual release of archival content.
“In January 2025, Netflix will begin to roll out select WWE archival content. WWE Raw archival content will be available for viewing in the United States, with additional archival content available in the countries listed above.”
Additionally, WWE programming will become downloadable approximately 48 hours after streaming live, giving fans more flexibility to catch up on their favorite moments.
International Rollout and Accessibility
Initially, WWE Raw will be available in the United States and its territories, including American Samoa, Guam, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, the Mariana Islands, Palau, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. International fans will also gain access to WWE’s programming, including SmackDown, NXT, and Premium Live Events, as the rollout expands globally.
