If PLEs are going (internationally at least) does that mean the Network is basically dead? Right now in Canada we have the best version of the network in the world. It's available as a tv channel, but you also have access to the site/app on demand stuff too.

That channels probably dead in 2025, but does all on demand stuff move over as part of the deal?

Only thing I was jealous of for Peacock version was pricing. Didn't people get some crazy $50 a year package for Peacock for new WWE subscribers or something? I hope we see those deals coming internationally for Netflix.

In the interim this is annoying. For the same reason as someone else said. I very rarely watch Raw straight. I’m always flipping to a movie or sport or something. However, if they are moving towards putting all WWE in one place I’ll be ok with it. YoutubeTV is like cable was for me now. Just trying to find ways to watch the live sporting stuff in other places so I can cancel it. Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports

That's why it made more sense (from a fan perspective) if the peacock/Hulu deal got moved to Netflix. PLEs and on demand content on Netflix ,Raw/SD on tv. Even NXT is niche enough to be streaming if needed.

But moving every thing to Netflix...

Interesting note.

Netflix has a choose your adventure clause.

They can opt out after 5 years, and extend an additional 10 years after 10 years.

This could be a 5, 10, or 20 year contract.

HHH needs a press conference before the press conference on Saturday.

That press conference should be 100% about the Rumble, but you know everyone will want to ask as many questions about the new deal.

I'm interested in finding out all details like if Raw is staying 3 hours (does it have ad breaks or could we just get 2 hour no commercial shows, which is how long 3 hour Raws are anyways if you took out ads), how does SD work if it's a tv show still in the US but streaming on Netflix elsewhere?

Is it still a PG show or does it get edgier (not sure what edgier would even be since blood isn't needed unless its blood packs, and the women won't be doing divas stuff, so other than language used, what else would change?)


For anyone who has Netflix and watched live stuff on it, are you able to just "start from the beginning" at anytime and just watch the show and fast forward through ads or segments you don't care for?

- Raw will still be 3 hours

- Raw will be commercial free for those who have that sub on Netflix

- Raw will be on Mondays

- Talks of TV-14

- Live stuff on Netflix from my experience you can start and stop just fine, but it was really bad on Netflix's end. The Show started 2 hours later than scheduled and was choppy. Definitely kinks to work out.

Those first 3 are confirmed?

I know Netflix has 4K, maybe we see the debut of WWE4K in 2025?

That'll be an interesting thing.

So if you don't pay for the ad free Netflix, it'll be like watching Raw on tv (I guess non ad free means you can't skip commercials when watching on demand either?)

3 hours every week ad free seems long though.

They'll work around the ad-free version. Basically during commercials it'll just be headlocks and nothing-ness.
