Punk didn’t forget Dusty’s line. He was
Just setting Cody up to finish it.
That’s how I took it too.
Exactly
Yeah this dude was hating
That's how I saw it too.
It was fairly easy to tell that’s what Punk was doing
It’d be great if Netflix doesn’t raise their rates but after spending that much money for Raw you know they will have to
I don't mid much personally if it is only a buck or two. The ad tier is still very much affordable and I average just one 15-30 second ad per program.
@@lotsathedetox Yeah, but I'm boujee AF, and don't like ads. Lol
They are already ready to cancel their cheapest plan
I also find I stopped watching Netflix ages ago. With Hulu I have always gotten raw for like the past 10 years the next day. Which honestly there was a time when I cared and I was watching on cable but over the past six years that’s been good enough for me as more of a casual viewer so in my case, that would be a whole Nother subscription I’d need to bring back just to watch one show
In the UK it'll be RAW, Smackdown, NXT, and PLE shows all on Netflix.
Totally awesome I'm buzzing get it for free too, magic 😂😂❤
Vpn anyone 🎉
@@ajpal9618 But that's just it, you won't need a VPN anymore.
Yes, and probably the EU countries will eventually get a similar deal. They've already said there's more to be announced. It's very convenient.
Not the USA
I can watch Raw at work now... this is definitely a big deal.
you could have with peacock, and every ppv as well.
Your local cable company probably had an app to watch tv on
Dude, I cannot wait!
@@themetalreaperttv yeah but peacock only has 30 million subscribers. Netflix ALREADY has 270 million subscribers. Way more people already have netflix and are used to it. I wasn't about to pay for peacock when I already had netflix - just like most people I know. I guarantee RAW is going to surge in viewership and popularity. Especially in other countries. Watching RAW just got easier because it's now gonna be on the biggest streaming platform in the world.
@@themetalreaperttvyou can't watch raw on peacock the day it airs
Netflix is on your Smart TV, its on your computer, its on your phone, its on every console from Xbox, to Playstation, it's on your Firestick, It's EVERYWHERE in this era! I think more people have Netflix at this point, then people actually have cable. AND... its more affordable. More people will be watching WWE than ever before in my opinion.
yeah how u watch netflix is easiest to you personally me il cast it to my TV from my phone
I mean, Netflix isn't available on the switch, but you right on everything else
@@Rockmankb Usually kids have switches anyways so that doesn't matter.
I disagree. They can potentially have the most viewership but I don't they actually will. It's not as hot as it was in the attitude era.
Agree
Nobody tell Bully what “Netflix & Chill” actually means.😂
“Raw & Chill” is WILD
@@JOMRANN I didn’t even think of that, until you brought it up. Good shout though. 😂
@@JOMRANNthat's brilliant 😂😂😂
@JOMRANN u have dirty mind 😂😂😂
@@JOMRANN that slogan on WWE t-shirt will be quite the conversation starter 😂😂😂
31:17 - 31:44
Punk didn't say that line as if he forgot what Dusty said or needed Cody to remind him, it was to put further emphasis on that line to have Cody say it because he hasn't lived a life anywhere near what Dusty or CM Punk had to live through to become what they became, which was to further highlight how much CM Punk was the actual manifestation of the American dream.......that's insane that this guy couldn't pick up on anything of that.
👍
Went over his head
Side note: shout out to Dave for wearing his Dawn of the Dead shirt in honor of Dave Emgees passing
This is awesome for us outside the US especially the philippines in which 90% of the population use netflix! We get to have WWE back!
Jesus, you have a huge population, too!
@@jaryd12345 wwe knew it lol.
@@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITEnow if they just host a ple here...
I’m sure that was another reason for the deal, now Raw is on the same “channel” worldwide. Great news for WWE fans everywhere
USA network isn’t free tv. I haven’t been able to watch a live raw in years.
Apple, Netflix and Hulu are actually part of my cell service, no cost (rolled into the monthly fee but not an obvious line item).
W here
Yeah, I think it's funny everyone is saying Cable TV is free but the Netflix paywall will be an issue when like everyone already has Netflix or knows someone who has it.
Punk landed a second shot that went unnoticed by I think 90% of the people that watched it live. "Allow me to give you the full CM Punk Road to Wrestlemania Experience. See, Cody Rhodes you have carried this company on your back for a soul crushing two years. And you're right around the corner and they hand you the cover of WWE 2k - Congrats btw. And right when you're about to cross the finish line and finish your story... Oh wait, what's that in the distance?! It's a bigger superstar that hasn't been around in a very long time coming to take it all away from you... And I'm talking about me." Man just called Cody, CM Punk 2013 lmao
I got it. That part just made punk into what he hated the most, he's now nothing more than a has-been forced into a spot at wm that he didn't deserve.
I kept waiting for Bully to say, "Dave, it's a work." when he was going on about Punk "forgetting the line" and being disrespectful. He's a tweener. He's always going to have heelish tendencies. They are both over. The fans love them both. But between the two of them, Punk is clearly more of the heel. I don't understand why Dave was so offended about Punk playing his role. It's a promo. lol It's a work. It went (almost) exactly as planned.
I thought Dave was working too tbh
Did Dave get worked by this promo? I can't tell? 😅
Either way, the promo was fantastic. It wasn't meant to be a blow by blow, main event match promo. This was to promote the Rumble and the Road to Wrestlemania.
Also it was just a tease for a future Cody/Punk match. Drawing the lines in the sand for the fans. When they get to their match, then the real promo battles will begin.
RAW & Chill is a WILD statement 😂😂😂😂
Better get some birth control 🤣🤣🤣
😭🤣
You guys have had it easy in the US all these years. In the UK we have had to have Sky to watch WWE since 1991/1992. Then we have to wait up until 1am to start watching a ppv. We had to purchase every ppv for years on top of Sky etc. For the last like 3/4 years we have had to pay for the Network, Sky and then BT sports to just to watch raw. This is a great deal for the UK as I can now cancel my sky and bt subscription.
No more bt sports subscription finally 🎉 that just kept going up and up
I haven't paid for sky year's but still watch sky programmes. I don't pay for Netflix or prime but still watch their programmes.
@@chriscollins550 ahh the freeloader off their friends every group has one lol
@jamesbarwis4533 No, I don't use friend's to watch them. None of my friends have Netflix now, they did but cancelled it like most people with a bit of sense.
PLE'S are going to be on peacock only in the US, outside the US it's all on Netflix. That's major
Really? That's dumb splitting their fan base across different streaming services. I'm not paying for both Peacock and Netflix. I'll just keep Peacock.
@@natesmith3173 the thing is that WWE has contract still with peacock in the US and other countries like india, I heard that in the past McAfee interview with Nick Khan, so until that's solved, peacock get PLE's and Netflix gets RAW and others like documentaries and stuff WWE does
ples are moving to netflix in 2025@@natesmith3173
@@natesmith3173it’s only gonna be split till the Peacock deal is up which is sometime in 2025 I believe and then a bidding war will happen between them and Netflix I’m gonna assume.
No one seems to give credit to the fact that CM Punk leaving not only gave us The Bryan train but also gave a voice for WWE to push more well known indy mega stars.
Was actually when he left, more so the Pipe Bomb and the years that followed. Look how they were treated prior to punk . Guys like Bryan, Lowki, Colt Cabana, Archer, Sydal etc were treated unfairly compared to WWE grown talent and it wasn't until the season of the Pipe Bomb did WWE start pouring the efforts into mid size indie machines and ever since the 11-13 because of Punk nxt /WWE was filled with this new generation of Punk size guys. Rollins, Bryan, Styles, Balor, Aries, Cole, Nakamura, Zayn, Owens, Kenta, Hero, Neville . I think WWE would still be full of Batista, Ortons and Cenas if it weren't for Punk
I haven't had cable for 8 years, but do have Netflix. You bet your ass I'm tuning in
It's going to be odd for sure that Raw won't be on cable anymore. I already have Netflix and normally watch a recorded raw to skip commercials I think I'll enjoy it on more on Netflix. but I can see it going to 2 hours honestly
Who has cable anymore with paying 120.00 a month
Being on Netflix gets rid of commercials, they won't have to stay PG (unless they choose too), and it's NOT Monday Night Raw anymore (just Raw, unless Netflix chooses to continue with Mondays).
This is the internet. You DON"T have to pay for ANYTHING to watch it.
Except data or wifi.😂
Actually, for Netflix, you HAVE to pay for it, my friend. Just like Peacock. It is on the Internet and on an app. And you HAVE to pay to watch.
So, you have to pay to watch for RAW on Netflix.
Arrr maty you seem to be new to the internet@@elizabethraabe7361
Umm yes you do. Internet costs money? Get your parents to pay do you? Sad, you Absolute beta
You don't have to pay for cable to watch RAW, and everything Netflix has and makes is streamable on numerous free sites.
Are you new to the internet?
I watch RAW on CZcams TV anyway. So to me they’re already on an app. Them switching which app I have to click on isn’t an inconvenience for me.
Is it still gonna be on CZcams tv once the move finally happens?
@@anthonybarnes1903 No, Raw will be exclusive to Netflix, Smackdown will be on USA (so you’ll still be able to see that on CZcams TV), and NXT is going to The CW.
In the U.S., as of June 2023, USA Network was available to 72.4 million homes. There were approximately 67 million Netflix users in the U.S. in 2023. People tend to share Netflix within their family and friends as well, so that number is likely higher. Also, people aren't watching the USA Network on their phone at the airport or at the gym, but people watch Netflix everywhere.
Netflix is also worldwide, so this simplifies getting Raw into homes outside the U.S.
This is a good deal for WWE viewership growth.
Excellent for nations where getting access to WWE costs a lot of money. As part of Netflix we will essentially get it for free on a platform most people already have.
It'll be interesting to see how much Netflix raises their price for next year.
Yeah and it'll be interesting to see how many people dump Netflix if that raise is real high, including me
You right
Get a job
Still has more subscribers than anything else.... Funny isn't it?
@@KingJohnMichael 🤣🤣
USA is getting Smackdown though so I doubt the will look to add a competitor on Monday's
Now you need to add Netflix, Peacock, and cable to watch all three shows.
A lot of older fans will not be pleased!
And a lot of older fans need to get with technology and just download the torrents the next day, that’s what I do because I can’t stand all the commercials. I watch Monday Night Raw every Tuesday.
That's what old people do.
Old people and complaining? Name a more iconic duo 😂
Old people crying? Nothing new.
When they go on Netflix hopefully they’ll change it back to TV 14😅
Haven’t they been TV 14 for awhile??
@@JayBoo228 They are still family friendly with a edge. All RAW needs to do is improve on better promos that don't sound so scripted, less backstage segments that just waste time, and more wrestling to watch for anyone watching at home. Those will get me to watch a full episode again. I haven't watched a full episode of RAW since 2022. Only certain matches or segments get my attention. The rest is all recaps for me.
Nope it’s pg 😢
Punk changed the landscape of wrestling by simply being one of the top stars in wwe when no one ever gave him a realistic shot. That is an undeniable fact. And are we really going to ignore his fundamental role in the growth and development of a promotion like ROH?! Delusional to call Cody more of a maverick and "revolutionary" to the wrestling business than Punk.
I think RAW dropping back to a 2 hour show could be one of the best things about this. Maybe it even opens the possibility to do “special” editions of RAW (like “Day 1”) where you can do a 3 hour show.
Regardless, there’s lots of cool ways to play with the format of the show being on a streaming platform. Curious to see what they do with it.
Agreed.
It was USA networks idea. $$$
Dave thinks 500 people om Twitter is an outrage. 23 million watched NFL on Peacock. AEW doesn't want the Monday Night Football smoke.
Hey as someone who cut the cable cord over a decade ago, I'll be able to watch again.....that is if something is on worth watching. No cost out of my pocket as my Netflix subscription is provide with my cell-phone plan.
This is game changing outside the US. So much easier to watch all the content. Hopefully 4k without ads and Raw goes back to 2 hours.
The downside is the back catalog remains on Peacock through 2026.
WWE already came out and said RAW will remain 3 hours but it may NOT always be on Mondays in the future.
Netflix paid for 3 hours fam
@@ApexCalibre It's more than 3 hours of content if you live outwith the US.
@@NewNomics It depends. If you are outwith the US, what's on peacock might also be on Netflix.
I’m for it Netflix doesn’t do teres with commercials just regular and 4k teres but no commercials hopefully I can see full matches without the breaks would be great
*tiers
Cable died right before the pandemic in my opinion. If you still have cable now, you are wasting money
I think it will benefit other companies like TNA/AEW as well. They can put on a Monday night show and we can still watch both
Hopefully aew and tna will benefit from all this.
Loved the Cody/Punk showdown. I agree with Bully that it was a draw, but I'm with Dave that it was memorable.
@lil_jawa I can't predict that. WWE has been pretty good at surprises lately.
I don't think raw will ever leave Mondays only for the fact because they love having raw right after the pay-per-view weekend and the fact that it's on Netflix should mean we can watch it whenever we want
Sunday PPvs are not common anymore. Now it’s Saturdays.
@@jmiyagi12345but Monday night Raw will always be Monday night Raw
I stopped watching wrestling because I got rid of cable. That was more then 15 years ago. Next year there is a really good chance I’ll start watching again. It’s a big deal. But I agree with bully in that it’s not because they are leaving cable. They should of started streaming raw live when they launched the network.
Also Netflix uk and Ireland and other countries are getting raw and smackdown nxt and ppvs witch is huge
I haven't gotten to watch RAW in forever because I haven't had cable. Also, I was considering cutting Netflix or at least lowering my subscription level. This is just made the service more valuable and I wish I didn't have to wait until 2025.
Would have preferred Amazon Prime Video, but Netflix is going to grow Raw's viewership tremendously....
Yeah me too. I'll likely always keep Prime just for the free shipping. Netflix is a staple for the family though, but I wouldn't have it without them.
A decent IPTV service blows Netflix and Prime out of the water!
I thought peacock since the WWE has content on there
Keep that to yourself dont ruin it for us keep your mouth closed@OfficialJoePlays
I’m still gonna watch it for FREE no matter what 😃
Dave, you got to let Bully speak. You bring great dialogue. You talk over him when he gets going. He’s a Hall of Fame professional wrestler. You have to let him have his professional input to the product. When he’s done, that’s when you can have your soliloquy.
This. I'm turned off to the channel by how much he interrupts. I quit watching, I'll just wait for Cornette
The crowd was kinda awestruck by that promo. It wasn't like a Chicago or New York crowd, but they were into it. However i feel those lapsed hardcore WWE fans are returning slowly when they used to be much louder during promo segments eg: Rock/Hogan and Styles/Cena
I think you're underselling the upsides here. Netflix is the largest streaming service in the world with 240 million + subscribers compared to WWE Network's 1.5 million. The flexibility viewers will have to watch it immediately or at any time afterwards without WWE having to be concerned at all about when they watch it, the money still rolls in, is good for both sides. Massive chance to get more casuals into the product. Netflix and WWE will both market the hell out of this.
Also wrestling has always had difficulties with advertisers but loyal fans that will follow it everywhere. They'll follow it to Netflix and ads are secondary to Netflix's core business model - and sold based on the service as a whole I'd expect.
The crowd was standing listening to every word. Billy is basing his answer just off of a pop but if u look at the crowd they were standing up actually invested to what’s happening that’s why it’s memorable
Who’s Billy?
Im curious if you dont watch it live how long is that episode of raw sat on netflix for
I think the biggest thing they brought up is the resolution of the signal. I’ve been tired of the show being in 720p for the past 15 or so years. I really hope they broadcast it in 4K. It’s what we pay for on Netflix.
WWE broadcasts in 1080i.
@@TheJosephPrice which is still bad. Interlace is worse than Progressive
Retrain my brain? Raw is now on Netflix. Ok BOOM. I'm on Netflix. Not that hard of a learning curve.
Bro are we gonna get an Attitude Era 2.0 ?!?
I doubt it. They may be able to include more aggressive and interesting angles, but other than blood not being a big deal on Netflix, they are a family friendly company now and it's probably going to stay that way for the foreseeable future. That being said, it IS possible that RAW will be more mature rated and Smackdown (which will be on USA now) and NXT will stay more family oriented. Who knows I guess.
Nah
It’s possible maybe it could one day return to the attitude era anything is possible especially with the merger of UFC despite it being family friendly.
Only time will tell
@@BrownDog416 people been coping 10+ years for attitude era simply forget about it
That's exactly what I'm thinking! Also some movie quality side episodes!
Why is everyone forgetting USA will be airing Smackdown?!
FYI Smackdown will move to USA on October
Netflix is the biggest streaming service in the world. The company reported 247.15 million global paid memberships as of September 30, 2023.
It’s wild to remember the humble first episode of Monday Night RAW in 1993 at the Manhattan Center. Now, it’s worth $5 billion.
Yep. That's a HUGE library. And a Lot Of gigabytes
@@diluted8I've got all of it on hard drives. 13TBs worth of wrestling. Complete Raw/SD history, PPVs. Every NWA PPV. Complete WCW and ECW library. TNA from their 1st PPV up to about 2015. And now all of AEW.
The 13TB is full. Syart8a new 8TB hard drive with the Rumble.
Not even close.
I'd rather have wrestling trivia game during "commercials" on Netflix an yes now Netflix is a must to have
For UK customers its fantastic, Netflix is about £11 but raw and smackdown are on sports channels that cost like £40 a month and thats including the network being £9.99.
Non-US get raw smackdown and the PLEs.
Will a VPN work to watch all of those in the US?
@@jmiyagi12345 yeah you can likely just VPN and access everything
Exactly, this is an absolute win! I had to ditch the network as I was paying for it but only watching the PLEs (still cheaper than sky box office!) and I don’t have sky to catchup on raw/smackdown.
Yep, this is a game-changer in UK. Works out far cheaper for existing fans, but also massively opens up the potential casual audience - the sports channels are mostly a niche luxury for enthusiasts, driven almost exclusively by the EPL, while pretty much every millennial and Gen Z is already jacked into the Netflix algorithm.
The USA Network has NEVER been "Free". Raw has ALWAYS been a show folks pay for
🤷🏻♂️
Get ready to start paying cable tv prices for Netflix
fuck now, i already paying 16 bucks a month if the price change even a bit i am out of there.
I just gave my brother (lapsed wrestling fan) the news and he is ready to re subscribe to Netflix. I was planning on cutting Netflix but will hold on to it. So 1 year out and I think it's a big deal
Netflix has 5 million more subscribers than USA Network in the U.S.
That's a long time to be locked in a deal,its 10 years with Neflix adding 5 if they want ,or cancel it,15 years ago WWE was making far less than today,in 5-7 years things could change drastically with inflation and other things.The other thing is that Netflix made this deal as a consequence of writters strike,now they don't have to deal with that BS,they will always have a show on.And now the biggest question,will they drop all episodes at once ?:))
In the uk it will save me £30 a mounth
You will get all wwe programming on Netflix living outside u.s
USA also still has Smackdown .... so it's not a total breakup
This is big for Wwe because for a while it’s just a domestic company that would occasionally go out of the states now they seem to focus on being an international powerhouse. Netflix opens the doors to so many other countries and viewers especially in Asia
yeah exactly what if it suddenly it takes off in a market they were never in before ..its a big plus for wwe
WWE was huge worldwide decades ago. WWE has been on TV in China for over 20 years and now it's restricted to the Netflix audience which China isn't into.
@@redrick8900 1. most countries outside the US aren’t able to watch raw due to time constraints now they have the ability to. Also China has never been a big market in wwe till now. 2. WWE still is huge worldwide since they are top 10 in CZcams subscribers. 3. China is top 5 country in Netflix subs but the main point was all of Asia not just China.
@@Tumorcoach You saying a bunch of wrong things doesn't impress me.
@@redrick8900 nothin I said was wrong you literally flat out lied in your original comment so be upset with yourself 😂
Great thing for WWE. Again setting the standard
That’s laughable 😂
@@Luigi12687 sure thing bud!
@@Luigi12687so just who is setting "The standard".
They are shooting themselves in the foot.
I'm in the UK...if you don't have WWE Network for £9.99 or a Sky Sports or BT Sports subscription then WWE is a no go....now you are going to move Raw, Smackdown and NXT, as they've said, to Netflix, including all PLE's....this opens a massive window of opportunity to fans like me who now get all that for a Netflix subscription which means I get a ton of stuff and WWE. Yes, I'd still need a Network Subscription to access the older material which I enjoy as a near 40 year old. However, I'm really pleased with this one, really pleased. It's a massive bonus for me.
Anyone talking about how maybe RAW can become *Raw* again? With relaxed TV rules and ratings? I doubt it, but it would be nice if the adults got a WWE show since you’re streaming. That’s how it should be. RAW was called RAW for a reason. Give Smackdown and NXT to the kids and give back the adults RAW.
Raw will definitely have more freedom now that it won’t have to answer to TV executives. There should be a change for sure.
No cable no Netflix
I think its pretty obvious punk not finishing the line and throwing it back at Cody was a complete work to show that per story line… dusty wasn’t important enough to punk for him to remember the entire line… it was a complete work to show cody that punk didnt take time to remember the line
I thought the Cody-Punk promo couldve been a draw, but Bully didn't put "draw" as an option on the poll. I gave it to Cody by a hair, and I'm willing to bet a lot of the 59% felt the same.
The promo was a very stone cold vs Rock intro. It was designed for Cody to take it by a bit. They even queued his music at the end
77 Million Subscribers USA & Canada.. 247 million subscribers Worldwide.. a lot of new potential viewers for WWE…
No. This is drastically less viewers for them.
No commercials aside from what the WWE decides to run during the show. Big W for WWE
I mean, they are a publicly traded company. Unless they’re going back to a private status, there are probably some sponsors they’re still gonna have to advertise.
Nice to get raw on Netflix only cost me my internet payment here in the UK 🇬🇧 it was costing before i cancelled it sky tv 91 pound sterling a month and that only got you one, the other smackdown would cost 20 pound a month, its a international footprint move not a US thing
That's great to hear unlike the brokies in the comment section
I'm gonna pass for Netflix. Congrats WWE. I'm not paying for more streaming. I cannot afford it. I'm not tech savvy enough to steal it.
So I can't change the channel when there's a commercial?
Moving to Netflix will be the death of WWE folks.
keep dreaming
There's 5 billion reasons for why you're wrong
This is a move for wwe to be more accessible to international fans
Im living in asia and i only watch wwe on tiktok
Now i can watch it live in netflix
This is not good at all. A merger and having complete control over everything like a monopoly is not good. This reminds me of when Vince bought wcw.
Fans thought it would be cool but ended up being the end of the boom period.
Also what about rural areas with poor internet. I guess they don’t matter.
Get ready for xfl and rocks buddies pushing there brands non stop to.

@@christymorelandActually, Christy, Vince had his fingerprints all over this deal. This was the last thing that he wanted in order to solidify his legacy before he leaves TKO Holdings Group and WWE for definite retirement.
And Vince got his wish.
I don't have traditional cable or a cable like live streaming service, and I don't want to pay $70 to $100 a month to get it... to paraphrase Mike Tyson.. I am estatic that Raw is going on Netflix..
maybe this is about those outside us they want to grow . It was easy for USA to watch outside it’s on expensive services and you don’t get everything you still need wwe network for ppv. I think it’s a great move
So Netflix is going to use WWE to get more bigger then what Netflix is
Netflix is $10 people mad over $10.
In European countries, we cannot watch WWE live. we have to see through ^unofficial^ websites. Now with Netflix, we can finally see WWE officially. This opens a huge door for many fans who were away from WWE for various reasons.
I am so happy that Raw will be on Netflix. Finally I can watch Raw the regular way here in Germany and not on "some" ways down the internet
Agree! Real wrestling fans can’t wait 2 days for Prosieben Maxx 😂
@@LUC4POISON Nope! Live is always better. On top of that there will be no German announcers...They SUCK!
I agree with Dave on the Cody topic not sure what bully was arguing
Out of all streaming platforms ..wwe went with the one with highest membership ..250 million worldwide. Sheeeeshhh man
I live in NZ so Il have to get a VPN or something to watch Raw
is the WWE library staying on Peacock?… or is it going to Netflix as well?…. either way, i just hope it’s somewhere… they better not get rid of it lol… i watch 90s-2000s content alot
I don’t mind the move, but I hate that it’s no longer must see. Raw has always been Monday at 9. Or 8. Now it just….watch whenever on your phone🙄
RAW ON NETFLIX IS BY FAR A HUGE IMPROVEMENT LOTS OF 20 YEAR OLDS DONT USE CABLE. CABLE TV HAS BEEN OUT FOR I WANNA SAY NOW 10 YEARS SINCE STREAMING SERVICES AND CZcams
That depends on we're you live. In the UK streaming service are still the lowest from of watching programs. Most people still have free veiw or cable TV.
I lay $5.99 for peacock and get 0 ads but it’s due to my adblocker
AEW had the same opportunity for HBO MAX…idk what happened though
As someone who got tired of pay almost 300 a month for both cable and internet only to watch cable 2-3 times a week for wrestling I’m fine with them moving to a streaming service… it’s something that would have help them keep the the wwe network going if they gave us raw smackdown and nxt live on the show
Quick comment: WWE doesn’t air in 4K though. Only 1080. I seriously doubt Netflix will upscale.
This sucks for people like my 90 year old dad who doesn't use the internet
Right now raw isn’t on Peacock until a month after it airs. But now it will be on Netflix If not immediately, the next day… which is going to be huge. Right now I can only watch SmackDown weekly and I just get recaps for raw.
I have a feeling Raw is going to move off Monday. There's no need to run it against football any more.
Nick Kahn gave a great answer to this question on Pat McAfee l’s show today. Raw is on Monday. However, with the flexibility of Netflix he also alluded to they could be open to change if the sports schedule dictates. He also boasted about them still having a very solid demo even during those big MNF games and the NCAA championship.
Smackdown is going to NBC. USA is under NBC 🤔
Edit: I thought Punk's response to "I'm more Punk than you" was the coldest line of that whole promo. The Rock took Punk's opportunity to main event, and now Punk is going to take Cody's opportunity to main event WM. And there's rumors of The Rock swooping in again to face Roman at WM instead. Great rebuttal
Dave went deaf when Punk said that so not his fault 😂
Smackdown! will become the #1 show on USA NETWORK when Raw leaves
