WWE made a deal with Netflix to see its flagship show, Monday Night Raw, move from the USA Network to the streaming service beginning in January 2025.
The Raw deal is for ten years and more than $5 billion, valued at least $500 million per year. Raw will return to being a two-hour show, something it hasn’t been since 2012, starting on October 7th, because the show is in a gap between the move from USA Network to Netflix
While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Rhodes discussed the show’s move to the streaming platform.
“I think the locker room is through the roof about going to Netflix. We all have it. We all watch and love it….Netflix is going to be huge for us … We’re going up in terms of our public spotlight. College football, NFL, those are the biggest things on the planet. They really are. We’re moving up and trying to get in that air. If you know anything about what we’re doing, we’re not far off. Netflix, I think, is definitely a big part of that. This is a huge deal for Netflix. This is a huge deal for WWE. I’m just excited that we get to kind of ride this new wave.”
Roman Reigns & Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu is booked for Saturday’s WWE Bad Blood Premium Live Event in Atlanta, GA.
