The WWE era on Netflix is about to begin. WWE’s Monday Night Raw will premiere on Netflix at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET on January 6 live from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
The announcement was made by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Travis Scott on stage from his concert at ComplexCon in Las Vegas. Scott, who will be at the January 6 Netflix debut, also revealed his new music will serve as the theme song for RAW.
The premiere episode of Monday Night RAW on Netflix will feature WWE stars John Cena, Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Bianca Belair,”in addition to many other Superstars and surprise guests.”
Netflix inked the landmark 10-year, $5B+ deal with WWE earlier this year, making the streamer the exclusive home of Raw in the U.S., Canada, UK and Latin America. Additional territories from Netflix’s footprint of more than 190 are to be added over time. USA Network had aired the Raw franchise and launched it in January 1993.
Under the deal, in addition to Monday Night RAW, Netflix will become the home for all WWE shows and specials outside the U.S including other weekly shows SmackDown and NXT. It will also stream the company’s roster of live events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble and also make WWE documentaries, original series and forthcoming projects available on demand outside the U.S. (Peacock, via the WWE hub it originated in 2021, has domestic rights.)
