WWE Monday Night RAW will be airing on Netflix starting in January 2025. This will be the first time RAW will not air new episodes on a traditional television network.
WWE’s current agreement with the USA Network expires in September, which means there is a three-month gap between the end of RAW’s deal with the USA Network and its debut on Netflix.
During TKO’s Q4 earnings call, TKO CFO Andrew Schleimer addressed the matter, noting that they intend to find a home for RAW during that interim period. He said,
“We also intend to renew our license or find an alternate provider to carry Raw in the U.S. for the 90-day period from October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 before it moves to Netflix as described below. These domestic licenses together account for a very significant portion of our media segment revenues and profitability. No assurances can be provided as to the outcome of these negotiations and, if we are unable to renew existing agreements or find alternative streaming or distribution partners, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.”
He continued, “We believe RAW will be aired in the fourth quarter. We have no further information. We feel pretty positive about it.”
