Clarification on uncertainty over WWE RAW future despite Netflix deal - Reports
WWE recently made a groundbreaking announcement, stating that its flagship show Monday Night RAW will be moving to Netflix starting January 2025. However, there was uncertainty about the streaming platform of the Red brand show for the last three months of 2024.
The USA Network's deal with the Stamford-based promotion to air RAW is set to expire at the end of September 2024. As per a previous report by Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, an NBC official informed that the USA Network won't telecast the Monday Night show post-September 30, leaving the brand without a home till the start of next year.
Veteran journalist Dave Meltzer recently provided an update on the possible course of action by the Stamford-based promotion. Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer revealed that the company is set to announce the streaming platform for the last three months of 2024.
"WWE told me that they will make an announcement relatively soon about that. So I guess they have something - what it is, I don’t know. Maybe they will go into Netflix early,'' said Meltzer.
The wrestling journalist thinks that Netflix will sign an early deal with World Wrestling Entertainment, but that's not confirmed.
"I asked about that and the way it was phrased to me was, we can't tell you cause we are gonna make the announcement, but the announcement is coming pretty soon." (H/T: WrestleTalk)
