WWE RAW Moving To Netflix In 2025

WWE RAW is moving to Netflix in 2025! The longest running episodic show in television history will be moving to the streaming platform in January 2025. According to CNBC, the deal is for ten years and $5 billion.

The announcement which was made this morning will be Netflix's biggest step into live entertainment. The Instagram post making the announcement said the show will air every week all year. This completes WWE's contract negotiations for their three television shows.

Late last year it was announced that their developmental show, NXT would move from USA Network to the CW Network. Friday Night Smackdown show will be moving from FOX Network back to USA Network. The final piece of the puzzle was announced this morning with WWE RAW moving to Netflix.

This will be the third home of WWE's flagship show.

WWE Monday Night RAW premiered on the USA Network in 1993 until September of 2000. In September of 2000 they moved to TNN (later renamed Spike TV) until July of 2012 when they moved back to the USA Network. USA is where the show will live until next January.

It has been rumored for sometime that streaming was an option for the new home of WWE RAW, with Amazon Prime being the name that most people heard when that was rumored to be happening until this morning's announcement.

It's been rumored for some time now that Netflix was wanting to get involved in the live entertainment world and this announcement was a great way to kick it off. Check out WWE's official announcement on WWE.com.

With the Royal Rumble right around the corner, wrestling fans are starting to speculate what is going to happen next April in Philadelphia, and here are 8 matches we need at WrestleMania 40.

Now, a lot of these matches have already been hinted already so we're not breaking news, but the matches still have to be put on paper. I think the most obvious match is Cody Rhodes finishing his story and finally winning the WWE Universal Championship from Roman Reigns. At Survivor Series, CM Punk returned to the company and in some people's eyes has put a wrench in that.

As a matter of fact, on Friday night Punk threw his name in for the Rumble, which might be one of the best in the company's history. Most of the matches that I'll list here are for titles, although a couple of them will just be regular grudge matches. Here is the list of the matches that I am proposing, which I will go into more detail on below.

Ever since Cody Rhodes came back to WWE all he's been talking about is finishing his story, most people thought that would happen at WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood, but WWE is playing the long game. They've luckily kept Cody red hot with the fans, and I think he'll become the 1oth person in WWE history to win two Royal Rumble's. Here is the list: Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, Batista, John Cena, Edge, Randy Orton.

I expect Cody to join this list next month.

Most everyone was happy that CM Punk came back... except Seth Rollins. They're very clearly heading in this direction with his response to Punk's return, it'll be interesting to see how they get there.

This is one of the biggest matches WWE can do in their women's division so it makes sense to do it on the biggest stage. I expect the main event of Night 2 of WrestleMania 41 to be headlined by Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair, where Belair's WrestleMania win streak ends.

This one is simple, GUNTHER is the final boss and Sami Zayn is the ultimate underdog, this one writes itself!

Somehow LA Knight got left off of WrestleMania 39, which was in LA. I think the company will give him a big moment next year to make up for it!

This is the biggest swing on my list since Sasha Banks isn't with the company and the Tag Titles was the reason she quit in 2021. But I can see her coming back now that Vince McMahon isn't in control, and helping Bailey who's clearly getting kicked out of Damage CTRL.

Vince McMahon once said that brother's don't fight, which tells me he didn't grow up with his. This match has been something both Uso's have wanted for a while, so I'd expect the match to bang! It will be interesting to see the story they get to this match with.

Randy Orton just returned from being out for a year and a half. because of the Bloodline. He just came back and Solo "retired John Cena." Orton will likely get a match with Roman Reigns for the Universal Title, he'll get screwed over by Solo and off we go.
