Nia Jax has shared the start date for the WWE launch on Netflix.
January 2025 will see WWE enter a new era and complete a trifecta of network changes as Raw will be broadcast exclusively on Netflix around the world. No longer on network TV, fans are excited and curious as to what the show will look like moving forward and if there will be any more changes.
While new episodes of the show will be available each week, the entire Raw back catalogue will be transferred to the platform in January and subscribers outside the United States will see SmackDown, NXT and Premium Live Events all migrate to the platform. As a result of this, the WWE Network will be deactivated at the end of the year.
Although January 6th is the first Monday of the year and the all-important premiere date on Netflix, it appears that content will make its way to the service a few days earlier. While appearing on Busted Open Radio, the Women’s Champion hyped up the current deal while also revealing that she was told that January 3rd will be the international launch date:
I mean, it is a whole different level of WWE. Nick Khan and Triple H have taken this company to the next level. It’s pretty incredible. We’re about to be in 80 percent of the world. Coming up in January, once — I just was told that technically, January 3rd is the international launch for WWE on Netflix, and then January 6th is here in the United States for Raw to go to Netflix. It’s gonna be huge. That’s something that we’ve never had… Before, I’d be in the airports and I could definitely be forgettable or not noticed. But now I think every time we go somewhere, anywhere we are — we were in Half Moon Bay — we were just talking about it — we were in Half Moon Bay in some random, local coffee restaurant. They’re like, ‘It’s Tiffy Time!’ You know, and they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s Nia Jax…’ We are so mainstream almost, which is kind of a cool thing, right? Even though we still feel very humbled. But, it’s very awesome.
January 3rd will fall on a Friday, which is also when most big content has traditionally dropped on the platform.
