WWE Raw Will Keep Things Family-Friendly At New Netflix Home
Sorry, die-hard wrestling fans, but WWE Raw isn't going back to the grunge and hard-hitting extremes of the Attitude Era.
The flagship WWE series is headed to a new home on Netflix on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025. While fans had hoped the new streaming platform would offer more leeway to push the boundaries on storylines and even profanity, WWE president Nick Khan and chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque say that WWE Raw will maintain its "TV-PG" content rating.
Levesque and Khan explained (per our sister site Variety) that Netflix has always been a safe place for families and children to view programming and they have no intentions of changing that.
Khan said he is aware of "some online chatter about how it's going to be 'R'-rated or, for us old folks, 'X'-rated," but: "That's definitely not happening."
WWE Monday Night Raw for the past 19 years has aired on USA Network. One of the main reasons behind the move to Netflix was to reach a broader and more global audience, Khan said.
WWE Raw will make its Netflix debut from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., with Khan observing that tickets sales have already gone through the roof in anticipation for the event. Pat McAfee will return as commentator alongside Michael Cole.
