WWE and Netflix Partnership Could Lead to Big Change

WWE is set to increase its global footprint in 2025 by expanding international premium live events (PLEs), thanks to its groundbreaking partnership with Netflix.

In 2025, WWE aims to build on its successful international growth by hosting more premium live events (PLEs) outside the United States. This plan was revealed by Chris Legentil, WWE’s Executive VP of Talent Relations and Head of Communications, during his appearance on the Sports Business Journal Sports Media podcast. Legentil explained that WWE’s recent collaboration with Netflix will play a crucial role in selecting strategic international locations to grow WWE’s fanbase and attract more Netflix subscribers.

Successful 2024 International Events

WWE’s push toward global expansion has been evident in 2024, with eight out of twelve PLEs held outside the United States. These events spanned countries like Saudi Arabia, Canada, Australia, France, Scotland, and Germany, bringing WWE’s electrifying action to fans worldwide. The success of these international shows has demonstrated the growing demand for WWE programming in different regions.

The Role of Netflix in WWE’s Expansion

With WWE RAW’s move to Netflix in January 2025, the streaming giant’s global reach will help WWE strategically plan its international events. Legentil emphasized that Netflix’s insights into global markets will assist WWE in identifying the best locations to engage international fans. The aim is to boost viewership for WWE content while driving Netflix subscriptions.

The collaboration between WWE and Netflix signifies a new era of content distribution, providing WWE with an unprecedented platform to reach a broader audience.

First International PLE of 2025 Announced

WWE has already confirmed that the first international PLE for 2025 will be Elimination Chamber in Canada this March. Additional international events are expected to be announced as the year progresses. This expansion strategy ensures that WWE’s action-packed events will be accessible to fans worldwide.

A Bright Future for WWE Fans Worldwide

WWE’s commitment to global expansion, coupled with its Netflix partnership, promises an exciting 2025 for fans around the globe. From Saudi Arabia to Scotland, WWE is proving there are no boundaries in delivering premium entertainment.
