WWE is set to premiere on Netflix in January 2025 when WWE Raw moves to the platform.
In theory, Netflix allows WWE to do edgier content as there are less restrictions compared to cable television. Nick Khan says WWE won't change the way they do programming.
“We're not changing the rating of our programming,” Khan said at a Netflix media event (via Sports Illustrated). “There's some online chatter about, oh, it's gonna be R rated, or for us old folks, like X rated. That's definitely not happening. So it's family friendly, multi-generational, advertiser friendly programming. It's gonna stay that way. I would look for more global flair, especially as the relationship [with Netflix] continues to develop.”
WWE and Netflix executives are still having discussions about the length of the program and the commercial advertising that will be incorporated.
WWE Raw moved to three hours in 2012, but shifted back to two hours in October at the end of its run on USA Network.
Fightful will provide more details on WWE's move to Netflix when they are known.
