In January 2025, WWE will be making history as its flagship show Monday Night Raw will be the first-ever wrestling show to be aired live on Netflix. The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes shared his thoughts on the move.
While speaking to Pat McAfee on his show, Cody Rhodes mentioned that WWE is moving up the ladder and the roster is hyped about it. Rhodes is also convinced that the promotion will be getting more of the spotlight.
“I think the locker room is through the roof morale-wise. In terms of going to Netflix, we all have it, we all watch Netflix and love it. But the idea of the streaming era, truthfully, WWE in the past was actually always a little bit ahead of the curb in terms of banking content and first ti was 24/7 On Demand. Then it was the Network and now, Peacock is everything. But, Netflix is going to be huge for us. When I say expanding and I say, where we are going, and I think certain individuals in the locker room, some of the champions, some of the top guys and girls know this as well.
“We… We’re going up in terms of public spotlight I feel like. College Football, NFL, those are the biggest things on the planet. They really really are. Right? We are moving up and trying to get in that air and if you know anything about what we are doing, we are not far off. And Netflix I think is definitely a big part of that. This is a huge deal for Netflix. It’s a huge deal for WWE. I’m just excited that we get to kind of ride this new wave,” Cody Rhodes said.
