WWE signed a 10-year, $5 billion deal with the streaming service to bring Monday Night Raw to their platform. The first Raw on Netflix will take place on January 6th at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, CA. In addition to Raw rights, international subscribers to Netflix will have access to the entire archive of WWE content as well as all new PLEs through the service.
