In the US, Raw is the only show going to Netflix. I don't believe they are getting the back catalogue, which remains on Peacock.I’m really enjoying it. I know that some people will say it’s stuff they always knew about but it’s just nostalgia. What’s the Netflix deal with WWE? Will they have the whole back catalogue and DVD collection?
I think WWE Network is gone here Jan 1. We are with Telus and they've confirmed they are removing it from their services.In the US, Raw is the only show going to Netflix. I don't believe they are getting the back catalogue, which remains on Peacock.
Internationally, all 3 main shows are going to Netflix in nearly every country. I have not seen any official confirmation that the back catalogue is moving too, but in Canada, we recently lost access to the parts of the back catalogue we had via Sportsnet+. We still technically have the WWE Network, but it's totally broken here. My assumption is we are going to get all of the back catalogue but YMMV depending on the country.
I'm glad to hear this. If WWE Network disappears, it means Netflix must be getting the back catalogue, or else there's no way to watch it in Canada.I think WWE Network is gone here Jan 1. We are with Telus and they've confirmed they are removing it from their services.
I've spoken with Sportsnet's support team a few times in the last couple of weeks because there have been all sorts of technical errors. They confirmed that they lose the rights to everything at the end of December. They either have already lost the rights to the back catalogue or they don't want to support it for the next 3 months (not sure what support it needs though; everything they had worked for me for the last year). They also said that you can no longer replay recent Raw/Smackdown/NXT/PLEs, so if you don't catch them live, you don't have another option (I've found there to be a bit of leeway within the week, but they certainly don't have multiple years worth of these shows anymore).I wonder what this means for Sportsnet though. WWE was a pretty decent block of their programming.
So sounds like Rogers got unceremoniously dumped and I wouldn't put it past them to be spitefully shitifying the product on its way out.I'm glad to hear this. If WWE Network disappears, it means Netflix must be getting the back catalogue, or else there's no way to watch it in Canada.

The crazy part is that, at the same time the PLEs disappeared, there started to be random technical issues that would kick me out of the app 2-3 times during a show, and there were 2 NXTs in a row where they would repeat all of the commercials, meaning that we would get the normal 3 minutes of commercials, and then we'd see the exact same commercials for another 3 minutes and miss whatever was happening. That seemed to correct itself this week, but it seems pretty wild how everything was working perfectly until mid-September, and then they just stopped caring.
Well, I guess that's it for me watching anything WWE, because I won't be subscribing to Netflix. I have beef with them.
I'll never forget the most HILARIOUS segment where Vince was in the hospital room with a broken leg in cast, and Stone Cold was disguised as one of the doctors and started beating the crap outta him and went upside his head with the frying pan. Too funny
