Wow, that is an insane amount of money. And it's kinda weird that Raw won't be on cable anymore.

But honestly, I'm just glad they didn't get a deal with WBD at this point.

@ImADifferentBird 100%. This is fucking historic in all sense of the word. This is gonna get Netflix the long term ongoing subscribers they want (ain't no off season in pro wrestling), plus gets Netflix into the sports (entertainment) game. WWE getting off traditional television..crazy.

Also glad re: WBD. They don't need both companies, let em shell out money for AEW/ROH stuff.
