Here’s the latest I can share on WWE Raw and Netflix live availability.
- WWE Raw moved to Netflix as a primary home for the show starting in 2025, with Netflix airing Raw live in several regions including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Latin America, under a long-term deal reported to be worth around $5 billion. This represented a historic shift away from traditional linear TV for Raw.[2][3]
- Netflix's agreement also extended to other WWE programming, with the platform set to host SmackDown, NXT, and WWE Premium Live Events like WrestleMania, subject to regional rollouts and additions over time.[2]
- While initial reporting in early 2024 indicated Netflix as the new home beginning January 2025 and live rights for Raw, subsequent content has reflected ongoing negotiations and regional variations; a few outlets noted the possibility of updates or reconfigurations depending on market and contractual changes.[1][3]
Illustration: A timeline of the shift
- 2023–2024: Reports emerge that WWE Raw will move from linear TV to Netflix in 2025.

If you’d like, I can pull the most current, region-specific status (New York City area) and summarize what’s streaming in your locality right now, or map out which WWE programs (Raw, SmackDown, NXT) and events are available on Netflix by country. Just tell me which format you prefer (short update, region-by-region table, or a simple timeline).
