When Raw moves to Netflix in January there will be a number of changes coming to the broadcast. With Netflix being the broadcaster one can expect many of WWE’s big name superstars to either move to Raw from Smackdown or pull double duty at times.
Another aspect is that Raw will be airing live on Netflix no matter where the show is being produced or hosted.
This means that when Raw is being held in an international location it will air live their time.
Following its debut on Netflix in January these are the upcoming international dates:
- March 17, 2025: Brussels, Belgium – Forest National
- March 24, 2025: Glasgow, Scotland – OVO Hydro
- March 31, 2025: London, England – O2 Arena
So, the Raw from Brussels will air at 2:00 PM ET. The Raw from Glasgow will air at 3:00 PM ET and London’s show will also air at 3:00 PM ET that afternoon.
Word is that all episodes of Raw will be available on VOD shortly after they have aired.
In case you missed it, Raw will not be more “mature” on Netflix either.
WWE President Nick Khan told Deadline: “We’re not changing the rating of our programming. So there’s some online chatter about, ‘oh, it’s going to be R-rated, or for us old folks, X-rated.’ That’s definitely not happening,” he said. “It’s family-friendly, multi-generational, advertiser-friendly programming. It’s going to stay that way. I would look for more global flair, especially as the relationship continues to develop. Countries outside of the United States are as important to us as the United States is. So we have certain targeted countries that are priorities for Netflix. They’re priorities for us. You’re going to see more of that. I think that’s the way you’ll see a bit of a difference.”
Raw debuts on Netflix on January 6th, 2025.
