WWE sent an e-mail to all WWE Network subscribers around the
world announcing that the service would be shut down on
January 1, 2025.
The e-mail states that after January 1, Netflix will become
the exclusive home of WWE in the area and the streaming
service will bring WWE’s content all to one place, including
weekly shows, Monday Night RAW, SmackDown and NXT, plus
premium live events, many of WWE’s top moments, along with
historic PLEs and select programming.
“If you are already a Netflix subscriber, you’re all set. If
you are not a Netflix subscriber, you will need to subscribe
so you don’t miss a moment. We can’t wait for you to
experience WWE on Netflix this January,” the e-mail
concludes.
Not everything which is on the WWE Network is being ported
to Netflix and many shows will be making their way back to
the vaults, perhaps to be used at a later time.
WWE Network launched in February 2014 in the United States
and then later around the world featuring most of the WWE
video library for just $9.99 a month including all the pay-
per-views at the time. The service never reached enough
subscribers to make money and the most subscribers it had
was just over 2 million around WrestleMania time.
WWE stopped the Network in the United States when Peacock
took over in a five-year deal worth $1 billion in 2021. The
service remained in most parts of the world where WWE did
not bundle their Network with TV agreements.
