The drama and storylines of WWE play out across multiple shows: Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and then live events like Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. Previously, these shows were on cable or the WWE subscription service, which could be restrictive. WWE being available as part of the standard Netflix fee makes the hobby much more accessible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are some regional wrinkles that make the deal a little more complicated, however. For instance, American Netflix users will not be able to watch Smackdown, NXT, and live events, which just leaves them with access to <em>Raw<\/em>, the weekly flagship show. Each show maintains separate rosters; for instance, NXT is used as a \u201cfeeder league\u201d for up and coming talent. <em>Raw<\/em> is also a three-hour event, which leads to more story, promos, and interviews interspersed throughout the matches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">This week\u2019s <em>Raw <\/em>has a spectacularly stacked card, and will include bouts between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, and Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley duking it out ofr the Women\u2019s World Championship. <em>Raw<\/em> will be streamed each Monday at 9PM Eastern, and the show will be available for viewing immediately after the conclusion of the live stream. WWE programming can also be downloaded 48 hours after it streams on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Netflix will be expanding WWE to more regions in the future throughout 2025 and 2026. WWE events from the past are also being archived on Netflix, with new categories for SummerSlam, Hell in a Cell, the Royal Rumble. As a Canadian, I\u2019m enjoying exploring this past content. Most of the yearly events only have one or two past specials uploaded so far, but I can watch archives of <em>Raw<\/em> and <em>Smackdown<\/em> all the way back to the shows\u2019 starts. Hopefully, my American friends can join in on the fun sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/entertainment\/504460\/wwe-netflix-raw-streaming-live-events-archive\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The WWE, and all of its content, is coming to Netflix\u2019s streaming platform.
