Current WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax says she was told WWE was coming to Netflix ahead of the Raw premiere episode.
WWE Raw is set to make the move to Netflix in January 2025. The $5 billion deal will mark the first time the company’s flagship show will be on streaming instead of cable television in 30-plus years.
Meanwhile, WWE NXT recently premiered on The CW Network, and SmackDown officially returned to the USA Network.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax was asked about the company’s growth and the move to Netflix. She said:
“I mean, it is a whole different level of WWE. Nick Khan and Triple H have taken this company to the next level.”
“It’s pretty incredible, we’re about to be in 80% of the world, coming up in January. I just was told that technically January 3 is the international launch for WWE on Netflix, and then January 6 is here in the United States for Raw to go to Netflix. It’s gonna be huge.”
“That’s something that we’ve never had. I’m sitting here, before I’d be at airports and I could be not noticed, but now I think every time we go somewhere, anywhere we are…we were at some random local coffee restaurant, and they were like, ‘It’s Tiffy Time!’ They’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, Nia Jax.’”
“So we are so mainstream, almost, which is kind of a cool thing, even though we still feel very humbled. But it’s very awesome,”
WWE previously announced that the Monday Night Raw premiere date will be the first episode next year on January 6, 2025.
The international launch date for WWE coming to Netflix has not been confirmed at the time of this writing.
