Classic WWE Content Is Coming To Netflix

As WWE’s domestic streaming landscape shifts away from Peacock, archival library content is beginning its transition to Netflix. Several classic events have been added to the platform’s “Coming Soon” section.

Netflix has updated its “Coming This Week” rail to include several WWE events. The initial list of archival shows scheduled for the platform includes:

WWE No Mercy The Great American Bash Breaking Point Greatest Royal Rumble Invasion St. Valentine’s Day Massacre The Wrestling Classic Breakdown: In Your House December to Dismember 2006 Capital Carnage Bash in Berlin Rock Bottom One Night Only Great Balls of Fire Capital Punishment This Tuesday in Texas

While Netflix currently hosts new and archived episodes of WWE Raw, Peacock will retain the rights to stream Saturday Night’s Main Event.

During the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference, TKO President and COO Mark Shapiro addressed the future of the WWE archive. Shapiro stated that the company is currently working on a non-exclusive deal for the library, indicating that the content may eventually be split across multiple platforms rather than tied to a single provider. A formal announcement regarding the permanent home of the archive is expected in the first quarter of 2026.

Regarding the rights for NXT Premium Live Events, Shapiro noted that TKO has not yet gone to market. He emphasized that the company is being “deliberate and thoughtful” and is in “no rush” to finalize that specific deal.

In a separate landmark agreement announced in August 2025, WWE confirmed that ESPN will become the exclusive US domestic home for all main roster Premium Live Events (PLEs) starting in 2026. The $1.6 billion deal includes marquee events such as WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam. Shapiro characterized the choice of ESPN as a strategic move to prioritize brand exposure and reach over potentially higher financial offers from other suitors.
