Grayson Waller talks WWE on Netflix.
January 6, 2025 will be a huge day for WWE, as the company will air its first episode of Raw on Netflix. This will be the first episode of the deal between WWE and Netflix that could last up to twenty years if the streamer opts to pick up a ten year option on the deal.
The upcoming episode of Raw is highly anticipated, as many fans are eager to see what changes that WWE has in store for the Raw brand.
While speaking to The West Sport for a new interview, Grayson Waller celebrated the show's upcoming debut, saying that Netflix is the perfect home for the WWE product.
“It’s super exciting. Obviously, you know already, the fan base on Netflix is a lot bigger. We’re going to be in a lot more homes, pretty much everyone, their mom, their grandma, their cousin, everyone has a Netflix account and being able to continue to watch NXT, SmackDown, Raw, PLEs, all of it on Netflix is going to be great. But for us too, this is an opportunity for us to kind of show out in a different platform and not having those constraints of a television network is kind of the way I think about it. I think Netflix believes in the WWE product and WWE is ready to deliver something huge. I think Netflix is the perfect home for it.”
Waller was then asked about the possibility of ramping up the intensity of his character with the Netflix debut. In response, Waller made sure to note that WWE is still a family product at the end of the day.
“I think there’s definitely the temptation to do that, but for WWE, we are a family product and as much as we like to push the envelope at times, we do it at times when it’s necessary. Even though we’re on Netflix and maybe people think that the gloves are off and we can say what we want, at the end of the day, we still want families to come to the show, we still want you to bring your son and your daughter. So, Grayson Waller is going to say some mean things, but he’s going to be very careful about what he says.”
