No, not all WWE programming is transitioning to Netflix; specifically, WWE Raw will become the exclusive home for the show in certain territories. While this marks a significant shift for WWE's flagship weekly program, it does not encompass the entire WWE content library or all its weekly shows.
WWE Raw's Move to Netflix
Beginning January 6, 2025, Netflix will be the exclusive streaming destination for WWE Raw in the United States and several other territories. This landmark deal means that fans in these regions will need a Netflix subscription to watch new episodes of Raw as they air.

- Content Included: Only WWE Raw is specified as moving to Netflix as its exclusive home.
- Start Date: The exclusive streaming begins on January 6, 2025.

Summary of WWE Raw on Netflix
To clarify the scope of this significant streaming shift, here's a quick overview:
| WWE Content | Netflix Availability (Beginning Jan 6, 2025) | Regions Affected |
|---|---|---|
| WWE Raw | Exclusive Home | United States, American Samoa, Guam, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Mariana Islands, Palau, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands |
| Other WWE Programming | Not included in this specific deal | Other WWE shows like SmackDown, NXT, and premium live events (PLEs/PPVs) currently air on different networks or streaming services. This Netflix agreement is specifically for WWE Raw. |
What This Means for WWE Fans
For viewers in the specified regions, accessing WWE Raw will require a Netflix subscription starting in 2025. This change centralizes one of WWE's most popular weekly shows on a major global streaming platform. However, fans should note that this does not automatically transfer other WWE programming or its extensive archives to Netflix. Viewers will still need to consult current broadcasting agreements for SmackDown, NXT, and WWE's premium live events to determine their viewing options.
