There has been an update on the future of WWE Raw following the end of it’s USA Network deal before it moves to Netflix in 2025.

WWE Raw is set to move to Netflix at the beginning of 2025, with the company agreeing a deal with the streaming platform earlier this year.

With WWE’s move to Netflix announced for January, and it’s current contract with the USA Network set to expire in October, it had not yet been known where Raw would air in the two months before the start of the deal with Netflix.

However, in today’s TKO earnings call, it was announced that WWE had entered a $25 million domestic rights deal with NBCUniversal, with Raw set to remain on the USA Network for the final quarter of 2024.

USA Network is set to require the rights to SmackDown starting in October, meaning both Raw and SmackDown will air on the USA Network for the final quarter of 2024.

WWE NXT is set to move to the CW Network starting in October, ending it’s run on the USA Network.
