Since the TKO takeover, WWE has made some major moves regarding its future. One of the most exciting announcements is that WWE will be moving to online streaming Netflix.
After 12 years on the USA Network, Monday Night RAW will move to a new home. Starting in January 2025, Netflix will be the exclusive home of the company's flagship program. The deal is reportedly worth $5 billion over ten years. The switch will result in even more changes to the show.
"This partnership is one that will break new ground, and take @WWE to new heights. Thrilled to bring #Raw to @Netflix, coming January 2025. Now we change the game," Triple H wrote.

This is a significant shift in professional wrestling, as RAW has been on traditional television for its entire 31-year history. A few major changes that could potentially be seen once RAW moves to Netflix could include less censorship and a shorter runtime.

The younger generation of stars will be the focal point of the weekly shows as the company looks ahead to its 10-year Netflix deal.
According to WrestleVotes, the Stamford-based company has already significantly altered plans for Bron Breakker, who has impressed everyone since being drafted to Monday Night RAW. According to a backstage source, Breakker will be one of the major focuses for the company heading into the Netflix era.
"With his age, speed, look, and pedigree, this rare combination of talents isn’t to be overlooked," said the backstage source.
The former NXT Champion has made a bright start to his main-roster career. Despite the recent setback at Money in the Bank, where he was unable to take the Intercontinental Championship from Sami Zayn, he continues to be a major threat on Monday Night RAW.
This was established last week when Bron devastatingly attacked Zayn and Ilja Dragunov to make a statement. It will be interesting to see what the company has planned for the talented star moving forward.
