Netflix have brought the rights to wwe in the UK and from next year Raw, SD, NXT, All PLE and documentaries will be available to all UK netflix users


[WWE Raw comes to Netflix from 2025 in huge deal]


[WWE Raw - pro-wrestling's most popular
weekly show - will only be available on
Netflix from next year.
The programme has been shown on broadcast
TV around the world for 31 years.

But bosses of TKO - the company formed
when WWE merged with UFC - have announced
that Raw will be exclusive to streaming
from next January.
Viewers outside the US will also be able
to watch all weekly WWE shows and live
events on the service.
The company said that would include
pay-per-view specials including WrestleMania,
SummerSlam and Royal Rumble.

It said the deal would affect fans in the
USA, Canada, UK and Latin America first,
before being expanded to other countries later.
WWE Raw is usually broadcast live, has aired
1,600 episodes since it first launched and
is a must-watch for fans looking to keep up
with the latest wrestling storylines.

Bosses claim it brings in 17.5m viewers
each week in the US, and that WWE boasts 1 billion
followers across various social media platforms.

Nick Khan, WWE President, said:
"We believe Netflix, as one of the
world's leading entertainment brands,
is the ideal long-term home for Raw's live,
loyal, and ever-growing fan base."]

[WWE legend
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has officially joined
the TKO board of directors.

The wrestling legend turned Hollywood actor
is now in a major position of power
with a seat at the table of TKO,
the company created as part of
Endeavor’s deal to merge WWE and
UFC under one umbrella.
In a press release, TKO said the move, which is
‘effective today’, sees The Rock bring
‘decades of experience in live entertainment
and sports to the Board’.

He said in a statement: ‘My grandfather,
High Chief Peter Maivia, and my dad,
Rocky ‘Soulman’ Johnson, would’ve never
thought this day would come.]

If you have time
please post some results

[LaLaLand]

If you have time
please post some results
for tonight

Oh I will do certainly.

Night 1 Results:

1. Rhea Ripley defeated Becky Lynch to retain the Women's Championship. Brilliant, long match.
2. Austin Theory & Grayson Waller won the SD! Tag Team Titles whilst R-Truth & The Miz won the RAW equivalent in the Six Pack Ladder Match. Great match. Very happy that the tag title are split once again and it was wonderful to see Truth get "his Wrestlemania moment" by capturing the titles hanging above the ring at the very end.
3. Rey Mysterio & Andrade defeated "Dirty Dom" & Santos Escobar. Both LWO and LDF brawled and two masked NFL players (one being Taylor Swift's boyfriend's brother) helped assist with the win.
4. Jey Uso defeated Jimmy Uso. Match was okay. Pretty much what you'd expect really. No interferences or twists for once.
5. Bianca Belair, Naomi & Jade Cargill defeated Damage CTRL when Jade pinned Dakota Kai after a Glam Slam (or whatever she calls it). Good tag match.
6. Sami Zayn defeated Gunther to win the Intercontinental Championship in a really FANTASTIC match. Lots of storytelling.
7. Roman Reigns & The Rock defeated Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins when The Rock pinned Cody after a "People's Elbow". Slow match to start but the last 30 minutes or so were excellent. The Rock is fantastic as this obnoxious "final boss" heel.

Roman vs. Cody's title match tonight will now be under "Bloodline Rules". Expect LOTS of twists, turns and interferences.

[Swan]

So hyped for this!!

[LaLaLand]

Night 2 card:

1. Seth Rollins vs. Drew Mcintyre for the World Heavyweight Championship
2. The Pride (Bobby Lashley/Street Profits) vs. The Final Testament (Karrion Kross/AoP) in a 6-man Philadelphia Street Fight
3. LA Knight vs. AJ Styles
4. Logan Paul vs. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens - Triple threat match for the United States Championship
5. Iyo Sky vs. Bayley for the Women's Championship
6. Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Universal Championship - Bloodline Rules!

[Denver]

Cody finally dethrone Roman, loved the cameo spots

I cannot stop watching the debut of The Wyatt Sick6. It's perfect. Goosebumps, especially hearing Wyatt's music again and his type of production again - he's sorely missed.

Wrestling must be awful right now. There's only Arista posting.

Wouldn't have happened in Hulk Hogan or Steve Austin's days.

I hear that the UK is back on the wrestling map, like it was in my young days.

After a decade or three of the Americans and Japanese dominating, The UK is back at the top.

Will Ospreay, is apparently the man now.

[LaLaLand]

VERY pleased to see Penta finally in the WWE! He had a banger of a debut match against Chad Gable tonight on RAW.

Hopefully Ray Fenix will join him once his AEW contract is finally up (they added a year, I believe, of injury time to his contract so he couldn't debut the same time as Penta).

RIP Sabu

[LaLaLand]

Gutted. Loved Sabu as a kid, his tag team with RVD.

Used to stay up really late (sometimes on the sly) to watch ECW late at night on a weekend on some random Sky channel. Loved it, was wild compared to WWE at the time, which itself was fully in its "Attitude Era" that seemed so tame in comparison.

RIP Sabu.
