I believe this was to be expected with the move to Netflix. Now official.

Hopefully they get AEW now. TSN has been awful.

I got the email yesterday. Funny thing is, it appears that they pulled most of the WWE Network content awhile ago. I first subscribed back in March thinking I might cut the cord on my TV package (only watch sports anyways) and you could access all of the old PPVs, Austin's Broken Skull sessions, etc. etc. About a month ago I noticed that content is all gone. All I can find now is the most recent Raw/Smackdown/NXT. Sadly I paid for the entire year up front and even with all this content going (or already gone), they won't be offering any refunds so I'm stuck with it until March (I won't be renewing).

If there is a silver lining here is that Sportsnet's firestick app absolutely sucks and from a streaming standpoint Netflix's app is much more stable and user friendly.

Looks like no use for SN 360 now. I just had that for WWE.

I've never used Netflix before. So Netflix US and Netflix Canada is different? The article says no Netflix Canada deal has been done. I assume that'll change as the year ends.

They have different content, partly due to the archaic CanCon laws.

I love how little respect people have for a guy who thinks he's so much better than he is.

That or have Bork just continue to destroy him. Suplex city, few F5's....no offense from Goldberg. And just when you think it's finally over, Bork channels Bundy and asks for the 5-count

Report: Update On WWE RAW Moving To Netflix, Stars Netflix Has Hoped For

WWE RAW will officially move to Netflix in January, and a new report provides an update. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful (via Fightful Select) reports that Netflix had indicated their hopes that CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes would be featured on the show. WWE sources responded to the report...

This isn't a surprise, and rumour has it given the money three going to be paying they'll more than likely get what they asked for.

Tho Netflix has the Smackdown rights internationally (besides Canada) so its in their best interest not to gut the show entirely.
