Netflix responds to WWE over live show streaming issues, offers guarantee
Netflix experienced significant streaming difficulties during the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul bout, raising concerns about WWE’s upcoming move to the platform. The streaming service reported 60 million households watched globally, despite widespread technical problems affecting viewer experience.
As WWE prepares for Monday Night RAW’s transition to Netflix in January 2025, company sources told Fightful Select they received assurances that such issues would be “kept at a minimum.” A WWE executive noted that achieving viewership numbers similar to Tyson vs Paul would be “a good problem to have.”
The first Netflix episode of Monday Night RAW is confirmed for January 6, 2025. While details about air time remain unconfirmed, reports suggest content restrictions may be more lenient compared to USA Network’s standards.
