The game is changing, ladies and gentlemen!
"Along with the main Raw program, Netflix will become the home for all WWE shows and specials outside the U.S., including other weekly shows SmackDown and NXT. It will also stream the company’s roster of live events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble and also make WWE documentaries, original series and forthcoming projects available on demand outside the U.S. (Peacock, via the WWE hub it originated in 2021, has domestic rights.)
Netflix has taken an increasing interest in live programming and had even reportedly put in a bid for Formula 1 rights before the auto racing circuit renewed with ESPN in 2022. "

It's changing fast! Netflix expands its international presence and creates new prospects for the global industry. It's good in my vision. Thanks for sharing Ashley Renee Smith
That's big for Netflix, Ashley Renee Smith! Netflix is gonna get a lot of subscribers from this. I'm not really interested in wrestling, but I'm interested in Formula 1. If Netflix gets Formula 1, I might have to become a regular subscriber.
Ashley Renee Smith Looks like Netflix is taking a page out of the YouTube playlist (re NFL) and Prime. Very cool. I love wrestling but okay with reruns rather than pay for the Pay-Per-View. Now we just need the Canadian Football League to partner with DAZN.

Maurice Vaughan, Formula 1 renewed their agreement with ESPN, but it's possible that next time they'll reassess depending on how successful the WWE and Netflix partnership becomes.

Ashley Renee Smith I must be ill. I just read the title of your post and didn’t understand a word of it. Maybe my headache is worse than I thought! ;-)
