Netflix/WWE agree 10 Year, $5 Billion deal for Raw and Global PLE distribution. The Rock joins TKO Board of Directors.

[Smigg]

Netflix will stream WWE Raw live in the US, Canada, UK, Latin America as well as some other territories starting January 2025. For territories outside of the US, it will also stream the Premium Live Events.

On the same day, TKO Group announced that Dwayne Johnson has joined their Board of Directors, as well as fully acquiring the trademark for "The Rock". His inclusion also includes branding, media, and other rights. So we could see The Rock showing up in UFC games and things like that.

Outside of the US viewers will get everything WWE, I believe. In the UK their deal with TNT Sports ends too so everything will be moving over.

Has Netflix ever done live TV before?

None of the stories I have read so far mentioned what will be done with PLE. If anybody has a link please post it.

Unless the strikes in Hollywood forces streaming companies to reveal ratings and then we're back on!

What if that means Netflix joins the "independent contractor" realm so no strikes fuck up their plans?

Bill Watts would've taken the padding off the cage and fined anyone who cursed on camera or bled without his approval.
