After months of speculation and excitement, Netflix is ready to stream its first-ever live episode of Monday Night Raw. This major move by the streaming platform comes as part of its ongoing push to dominate the live sports streaming market. Fans in the UK can enjoy the action every week at no additional cost, as the deal marks a significant step forward for Netflix in securing high-profile sports content.
The debut of Monday Night Raw on Netflix is particularly thrilling as it coincides with the exciting build-up to key WWE events like the Royal Rumble and the Road to WrestleMania. The partnership has already attracted huge stars such as The Rock, John Cena, and Cody Rhodes, solidifying the new era of WWE broadcasting under a multi-million-dollar deal brokered by WWE legend Triple H.
When Will WWE Monday Night Raw Air on Netflix?
WWE Monday Night Raw will debut live on Netflix on Monday, January 6, at 5 p.m. PT and 8 p.m. EST from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. For UK fans, the broadcast will begin at 1 a.m. on Tuesday, January 7. The three-hour show will air live every week at the same time.
How Can I Watch WWE Raw on Netflix?
WWE Raw will be available as part of a standard Netflix subscription, so no additional add-ons are required. You can watch the show via the Netflix app on your TV, laptop, tablet, or mobile device. WWE content will no longer be available on the WWE Network or TNT Sports, as it has been in previous years.
When you log into Netflix, you’ll find WWE Raw prominently displayed on your home screen. Netflix offers three subscription plans:
- The standard plan with ads for £4.99 per month.
- The standard plan without ads for £10.99 per month.
- The premium plan for £17.99 per month.
Who Will Appear on WWE Raw’s Netflix Premiere?
The debut episode promises to feature some of the biggest names in WWE. John Cena will begin his 2025 Farewell Tour, while Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk are also set to appear. Roman Reigns will take on Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match, while CM Punk faces Seth Rollins. Rhea Ripley will challenge Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship in a one-on-one title match.
There is also speculation that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson may appear to kick off a potential WrestleMania rivalry with either Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes. Considering The Rock will be in Los Angeles for the Golden Globes, his appearance is a real possibility. Logan Paul will also make his return to Raw after being moved to the brand by General Manager Adam Pearce in December.
What About Other WWE Shows on Netflix?
Monday Night Raw isn’t the only WWE show heading to Netflix. After the WWE’s overseas broadcast deals expired on January 1, both SmackDown and NXT temporarily lacked a home. However, both shows will make their Netflix debut shortly after Raw.
- NXT New Year’s Evil will air live on Netflix on Wednesday, January 8, at 1 a.m. UK time.
- SmackDown will follow on Saturday, January 10, also at 1 a.m. UK time.
From that point on, all three weekly WWE shows—Raw, SmackDown, and NXT—will be available for streaming on Netflix.
What WWE Content is Already on Netflix?
As of January 1, Netflix has a large selection of WWE content, though it’s not yet as extensive as the WWE Network. The platform boasts nearly every historic WWE pay-per-view and premium live event, including fan favorites like WrestleMania and Royal Rumble, as well as niche events like Rebellion. Additionally, all NXT TakeOver events and select episodes of Raw and SmackDown from recent years are available, with more content set to be added. Netflix also offers various documentaries and series about current and legendary WWE superstars, ensuring there’s plenty for wrestling fans to enjoy.
