Earlier this week, WWE made a deal with Netflix that will see its flagship show, Monday Night Raw, move from the USA Network to the streaming service beginning in January 2025.
The deal
WWE’s deal to air Raw on USA Network runs through the end of September 2024. It was previously reported that exactly where Raw will air between the end of that deal and the beginning of the Netflix deal is still being determined.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer brought up Brandon Thurston’s report on WrestleNomics that Raw won’t air on the USA Network after the deal expires later this year. Per Meltzer, WWE is planning to announce where it will air from October 1st through December 31st.

“I guess the unanswered question is what happens to draw after the end of September of this year, because in January, it’s going to Netflix, and at the end of September, the [USA] contract is up. USA Network has told Brandon Thurston that they are not airing it after the end of September. So it’s not like they’ll gonna go three more months on USA. WWE told me that they will make an announcement relatively soon about that. So they have. I guess they have something. What it is, I don’t know. Maybe they’ll go on Netflix early. I’m not really sure.” Meltzer stated.
