The premiere of WWE Raw on Netflix is scheduled for Monday, January 6, 2025, marking a significant shift as the show moves from traditional television to streaming for the first time in its 31-year history.
The event will take place at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California, which opened in August 2024 to host the Los Angeles Clippers. This venue will also host Olympic basketball during the 2028 Summer Games.
Netflix has confirmed that all plans, including those with ads, will have access to this live event. Replays will be available immediately after the show, and episodes can be downloaded approximately 48 hours later for offline viewing.
Leading up to and following the premiere, Netflix has added various WWE content including “The Road to WrestleMania”, “WWE Superstar Profiles”, “WWE Legends Profiles”, “RAW Classics” hosted by Big E, and “WWE Top 10 RAW Edition”. This content started rolling out from January 1, 2025.
The move to Netflix is described as ushering in a new era for WWE, with the potential to reach a broader audience due to Netflix’s global subscriber base. There are high expectations for this premiere to be a “WrestleMania-adjacent” type of show, with WWE planning to pull out all the stops for this historic broadcast.
This transition to streaming represents a transformative moment for WWE, aiming to dramatically expand its reach and alter how fans consume wrestling content worldwide
