WWE has entered its ‘Netflix era’, as the first episode of Raw made available on the platform streams around the world. Following the debut on Monday Night Raw on January 7, Netflix is now the exclusive home of the WWE’s weekly wrestling show in the UK all 52 weeks of the year.
The first episode is available to stream now, with new instalments airing at 1am every Tuesday – the same time it airs in the US. If you’re yet to catch up with the latest wrestling action, Netflix is now included free with Sky’s £15 Essential TV bundle, which also includes more than 100 channels like Sky Atlantic and a Discovery+ subscription.
Raw’s debut episode featured some of WWE’s biggest names, including The Rock, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Rey Mysterio and Hulk Hogan, the latter of which was met with boos from the fans inside the Intuit Dome. The stars were out for the Raw Netflix debut, with the likes of Travis Scott, Macaulay Culkin and Logan Paul – who is set to join the show – in attendance.
