WWE is looking for a bigger stage, and Netflix, by pushing more live events, delivers
By MICHELLE CHAPMAN AP Business Writer
WWE will perform on a stage next month that could be much bigger than its current home on cable television when “Raw,” its live weekly show, makes its debut on Netflix.
The sports entertainment company is moving to a platform with about 283 million subscribers worldwide as it exits its current home on the USA network, which averaged 688,000 viewers in prime time last year, according to the Nielsen company.
For Netflix, the WWE addition is part of a strategic move to broadcast more live events following a blockbuster fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul that was watched by more than 60 million people.
“Raw” has averaged about 1.5 million viewers on USA Network over the past month, according to Nielsen.
WWE has produced thousands of episodes of “Raw,” since its debut in 1993, featuring star performers such as Seth Rollins, CM Punk and Rhea Ripley. “Raw,” and the media rights that go with it, had become a hot commodity before WWE struck a deal worth more than $5 billion with Netflix.
In addition to a larger pool of potential viewers, moving to Netflix means WWE won’t have to worry as much about curses being blacked out or potentially gory scenes or risque or obscene gestures being blurred.
And as it has done throughout its history, WWE has promoted the switch to Netflix through various platforms as it seeks to expand its audience.
During a Travis Scott concert last month, former pro wrestler and now WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque told attendees from the stage that one of the rapper’s songs will be the new theme song. Raw” and that Scott will appear in the first episode on Netflix on January 6.
WWE has managed to consistently get in front of new and sometimes massive audiences, including the Super Bowl.
After defeating the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII two years ago, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and MVP Patrick Mahomes posted a photo of himself on Twitter holding the Vince Lombardi trophy in one hand and a WWE belt in the other
Netflix sees great potential in live entertainment in addition to its traditional programming.
“Contributing to the growth in engagement will be across our scripted and unscripted, our documentary programming, all kinds of things that people love, including now adding a few live hours,” said the co-CEO of Netflix, Theodore Sarandos later. the company’s latest quarterly earnings report.
Aside from its deal with WWE, the company announced in May that it will broadcast two National Football League games worldwide on Christmas Day as part of a three-year deal with the league.
That live programming will be an important part of Netflix’s strategy going forward, JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth said.
“Netflix is increasingly focused on sports entertainment, events and shoulder content and we expect a bigger push into live sports over time, especially as the deal shifts in Netflix’s direction,” he wrote in an analyst note last month.
