Streaming giant adds WWE library including ‘WrestleMania’ and ‘Royal Rumble’ events

Netflix will stream WWE’s premium live events library and original shows in the U.S. through 2025, including WrestleMania and SummerSlam, after Peacock’s deal expired.

  • On Tuesday, Netflix announced it became the U.S. home for WWE's Premium Live Events library and began adding the content immediately.
  • Following the end of Peacock's five-year deal, NBCUniversal's streamer lost WWE's library, marking the second major platform shift in five years.
  • Rights are split, with Saturday Night's Main Event and weekly SmackDown exclusive to Peacock and later PLEs held by ESPN after September 2025.
  • Fans now face needing multiple subscriptions as ESPN, Netflix, and Peacock split rights to WWE's current main programming, reshaping streaming lineups after Peacock's prior exclusivity.
  • Building on Raw's January 2025 launch, Netflix has added WWE content since Jan. 1 ahead of 'Unreal' Season 2 premiering on Jan. 20.
