This move means that fans will need a Netflix subscription to catch all the action, but don’t worry – Peacock will still be the place to be for WWE Premium Live Events (PLEs) until 2026.

TKO CEO Mark Shapiro recently spoke about the impressive viewership and marketing success of PLEs at the UBS Global Media & Communications Conference. He highlighted the appeal of these events to potential streaming platforms, noting that they offer a unique combination of premium content with a once-a-month scheduling that fits well with different platforms’ strategies. Shapiro hinted at upcoming conversations with Peacock about the future of PLEs and expressed a willingness to explore other partnership opportunities.

WWE President Nick Khan also weighed in on the company’s partnership with Peacock, emphasizing their commitment to respecting their existing relationship with the platform. He mentioned that discussions about the future of WWE’s streaming presence would be taking place in 2025, demonstrating WWE’s intention to handle any changes with care and respect for their partners.

These developments mark an exciting time for wrestling fans and highlight the evolving landscape of streaming entertainment. Don’t worry if you’re not sure where to find your favorite WWE content – the stars of Monday Night RAW and WWE’s standout events will still be just a click away!
