Netflix will carry “Raw” in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom
and Latin America beginning in January, with additional
countries to be added over time as contracts expire. The bigger
component, though, is that Netflix will carry all of the
company’s shows overseas, including its premium live events like
WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble.
Scott's new music will also serve as the theme song for “Monday
Night Raw.”
The announcement of WWE's debut of Netflix comes after what has
been a stressful weekend for the streaming company. Many viewers
took to Twitter/X and Bluesky to express their frustrations with
streaming and buffering problems before and during the fight
between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
According to the website Down Detector, nearly 85,000 viewers
logged problems with outages or streaming leading up to the
fight.
Netflix said Saturday that the bout was watched by a worldwide
audience of 60 million and peaked at 65 million concurrent
streams. It said nearly 50 million households were tuned in for
the co-main event between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in
which Taylor kept her undisputed super lightweight championship
with another disputed decision. Netflix said it would provide
additional viewership information, including total viewers, this
week.
Netflix will also broadcast two NFL games on Christmas Day.
