Variety is carrying an article about WWE Raw appearing on the Netflix global top 10 chart for six straight months since it has moved to the streaming service in January.
In comments given to Variety, Netflix Vice President of Sports, Gabe Spitzer, said that WWE is everything they could have hoped for and more.
“We knew going in that we’re not going to change WWE. It was more, how can we add to it in small ways, and that’s what we’ve seen so far,” Spitzer said.
Raw has also appeared in the top 10 list in Canada for 26 weeks, United Kingdom for 23 weeks, and Mexico for 22 weeks, an impressive feat considering the amount of content available on Netflix.
Spitzer also talked about the rumors that Netflix will bid on the WWE premium live event package, currently held by Peacock. Peacock’s deal with WWE ends in Q1 2026.
“For us, it’s still early stages,” Spitzer says. “We want things that are going to create global conversation. And I think with WWE, we already know they have that. So we’ll continue to have conversations with the leagues that have rights coming up.”
WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque added that Netflix has been “amazing” in every sense of the word.
“They are phenomenal partners, and we can’t say enough about WWE fans. They’ve shown up in full force, as passionate and engaged as ever,” he said.
