The e-mail issued to German, Austrian, and Japanese
subscribers to the WWE Network announcing that all WWE
programming will move to Netflix on April 1 was retracted.
While the WWE Network will shut down in the remaining
countries that it airs at the end of this month, those in
Germany, Austria, and Japan will continue to watch WWE on
their regular TV for the time being.
Sebastian Hackl and Manu Thiele, the German commentators for
WWE, both confirmed that Raw, Smackdown, and NXT will remain
live on Bild while the replays are on ProSieben MAXX. The
premium live events will continue on ProSieben MAXX as well.
These agreements will run for a couple of more years so
there’s no chance of WWE moving to Netflix there until they
run out.
In Japan, ABEMA will continue to air all WWE programming
with zero changes as well.
