The big news was announced by WWE's Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque during a concert by Travis Scott at ComplexCon in Las Vegas. This isn’t just a one-off deal; Netflix will carry "Raw" in the U. S. , Canada, the United Kingdom, and Latin America starting in January, with plans to expand to more countries as contracts allow. What's exciting is that the streaming giant will also air all of WWE's premium events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble. This could be a game-changer for wrestling fans worldwide, making it easier than ever to catch their favorite matches.
