Subscribers to Netflix’s ad-free tier are reporting that their viewing of WWE Raw was interrupted by commercial breaks during this week’s broadcast. The development, a first for the platform’s live wrestling content, has triggered immediate frustration and backlash from viewers across social media.
That show was memorable for its chaotic closing angle, where Jey Uso delivered a massive Spear to LA Knight. The turn came just moments after Knight had saved both Usos from a post-match beatdown at the hands of “Big” Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker.
For those paying for Netflix’s premium ad-free plan, the sudden appearance of commercials marks a significant shift from the tier’s core promise of an uninterrupted viewing experience.
As of now, neither WWE nor Netflix has publicly addressed the issue or responded to the widespread subscriber complaints.
