Wwe Finds A New Home On Netflix, But In Africa, Supersport To Continue Airing Wrestling Content

World Wrestling Entertainment's WWE weekly flagship show, Raw, along with other popular programs such SmackDown and NXT, have debuted on Netflix in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Latin America and and other international markets on Monday.

This comes after Netflix signed a ten-year deal worth 5 billion R94 billion last year for exclusive rights to broadcast WWEs live TV events.

TKO President and COO Mark Shapiro confirming WWE's departure from linear television to the streaming giant last year said the move would 'dramatically expand the reach of WWE.'

This deal is transformative, it marries the cant-miss WWE product with Netflixs extraordinary global reach and locks in significant and predictable economics for many years.

'Our partnership fundamentally alters and strengthens the media landscape, dramatically expands the reach of WWE, and brings weekly live appointment viewing to Netflix. Shapiro said.
