Ten years after launching, the WWE Network is slated to shut down.
When 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, they also agreed to more than just the rights to Raw. Netflix is slated to be the exclusive home to Raw in the US, UK, Canada, Latin America, and other territories.
Netflix will also be the TV home for all WWE shows outside of the US, including SmackDown, NXT, and PLEs, replacing the WWE Network in many international markets. An email to subscribers today announced that come January 1, 2025, the streaming service will no longer be available. You can see the email below:
“On January 1, 2025, WWE Network will no longer be available in your area. After January 1, Netflix will be the new exclusive home of WWE.
Netflix will bring WWE’s electrifying content all to one place, including weekly shows, Monday Night RAW, SmackDown, and NXT, PLUS Premium Live Events (PLEs) such as WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam.
Many of WWE’s top moments, along with historic PLEs and select programming, will be available on Netflix beginning January 1.
The premiere live episode of Monday Night RAW on Netflix airing on January 6 will feature some of the biggest names in WEWE such as John Cena, Undisputed WWE Champion The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Bianca Belair, in addition to many other Superstars and guests including Travis Scott.
If you are already a Netflix subscriber, you’re all set. If you are not a Netflix subscriber, you will need to subscribe so you don’t miss a moment. We can’t wait for you to experience WWE on Netflix this January.
Sincerely, WWE Network Support.”
WWE’s deal with Peacock to host the WWE Network library and PLE’s in the US expires in March 2026.
