Netflix acquires WWE’s Premium Live Event library exclusively in the United States

Last night, WWE celebrated the first anniversary of the "Netflix era" with a very special episode of Raw: a crossover with Stranger Things, one of the most prominent series in the catalog of the popular streaming platform. Today, both companies have announced an extension of their current agreement, which will make Netflix the exclusive platform for all WWE PLE events prior to September 2025.

"Netflix and WWE announced today an extension of their long-term partnership, through which the world's leading entertainment service will become the home of the WWE library in the United States.

With immediate effect, Netflix is the new home in the U.S. for the library of WWE Live Premium Events (prior to September 2025), including WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble, as well as award-winning documentaries and original programming.

This adds to the launch of WWE on Netflix in January 2025, where Monday Night Raw has become a regular weekly content within the Top 10 globally in English. Previous episodes of Monday Night Raw are also available as part of the WWE library on Netflix.

The arrival of the WWE library on Netflix also comes ahead of the premiere of the second season of the original behind-the-scenes documentary series WWE: Unreal, on January 20," WWE wrote in a press release.

The move comes just days after Netflix announced the arrival of a large part of WWE's PPV/Premium Live Events to its catalog. Therefore, American fans wishing to legally revisit any event prior to Wrestlepalooza 2025 will have to do so through Netflix. It is worth noting that Wrestlepalooza marked the debut of WWE's PLE on ESPN. In the rest of the world, all premium events are broadcasted - and available - through Netflix.

With the future of PPV/Premium Live Events already determined, it remains to be seen which platform will end up hosting the rest of WWE's extensive library, which includes all weekly episodes of Raw, SmackDown, NXT, or WCW, among others. The company is still considering the possibility of moving them to its YouTube channel, although a final decision has not yet been made.
