It’s a big move for Netflix too as the streamer is takes strides into live streaming following the Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul fight in November. After a decade of the WWE Network and five years of BT Sports/TNT Sport,everything changes from today for fans with the way we consume wrestling becoming very different.

The official move is coming with the January 6 episode of Monday Night Raw (for US fans, that’s the only show heading to Netflix right now). Right now, a limited number of historic premium live events are available to watch on demand via Netflix. It seems more is planned in the future, as the streaming company teased: ‘In January 2025, Netflix will begin to roll out select WWE archival content on service.’.
