WWE Raw is coming to Netflix!

[Comrade Khan]

I don't disagree, just sort of defeated the purpose of cutting the cord

yeah I feel u, the days of Netflix being the only one and u got everything for 6 bucks was awesome. but where theres money they will follow and drain us for everything they can. Why do you think Pirating has seen a massive resurgence

It will also be interesting to see how this affects their international TV deals once they expire. Because those deals may not seem so great to like a UK tv channel when someone can just sub to netflix (which they prob already are) instead of paying for the channel, for example

From what I read it won't be both simultaneously. If there is no contract it's on Netflix but if there are contracts it won't be. So WWE can still have it's own deal in countries but then Netflix gets it if there's no deal.

Raw in 4K does sound nice.

That said to I wonder how everyone's thing will sync during shows. I know Netflix did a golf thing on new years live

The rumor is Fox passed bc ad rates for SmackDown still weren't what they should have been based on the ratings bc wrestling fan demos are still not deemed optimal even in 18-49

yeah and even tho the rating were great, they actually were expecting higher over the 5 year span so one year wasn't enough for them. It doesn't mean WWE did badly either, just that FOX had different expectations for their investment.

Netflix are in a better position to take a risk because this could end up doing good subs for them tbh

What does it mean by this part, it has me confused ​

International deal similar to Peacock in the US?

So basically Network is dead?

yeah sounds like the network is RIP

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Raw is still gonna be live, right?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Shame. I loved the actual network.

I don’t mind peacock as much I used to, but still.

Yea.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Yea.

I haven’t had Netflix is ages. They have a live feed?

 

[Comrade Khan]

there's a chance NXT ends up the show with the best ratings of the 3 in 2025 and that's a crazy thought lol

Their subs should theoretically rise and possibly explode. Raw fans won’t want to be left in the dust and will sub if they’re not already. I can tell you I haven’t subbed in years and will renew for Raw.

netflix is actually good in canada content wise so its prob gonna make a lot of wwe fans here happy because Sportsnet sucks ass
