Wrestling fans in the United States woke up to a massive New Year’s gift this morning. As of January 1, 2026, Netflix has officially become the primary home for the WWE’s massive library of Premium Live Events (PLEs), marking a seismic shift in the professional wrestling media landscape.
While rumors had been swirling for months following the 2025 move of Monday Night Raw to the streaming giant, the transition of the archival library was finalized as the clock struck midnight and WWE’s previous domestic agreement with Peacock expired.
A Century of Cinema: What’s in the Archive?
For the first time, U.S. subscribers can access decades of wrestling history within the same app that hosts their favorite sitcoms and movies. The rollout appears nearly comprehensive, covering the lineage of WWE’s most iconic brands. Subscribed fans now have access to:
- The “Big Four”: Every single edition of WrestleMania (all 41 years), the Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series.
- The Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras: Classic defunct titles such as In Your House, King of the Ring, No Way Out, and Fully Loaded are now available to stream.
- Modern Classics & Specialty Shows: More recent staples like Money in the Bank, Elimination Chamber, and Hell in a Cell have also made the jump.
Interestingly, the archive also includes Wrestlepalooza, the inaugural event from WWE’s recent partnership with ESPN. However, fans looking for the most recent major events from late 2025—specifically Crown Jewel: Perth and Survivor Series 2025—will still need to head to ESPN for the time being, as those rights remain separate.
Navigating the Split: Who Has What?
While Netflix is now the definitive home for the PLE archive and Monday Night Raw, the WWE landscape remains fragmented across a few platforms.
Peacock has not been completely phased out; the NBCUniversal streamer will continue to be the destination for NXT PLEs and the Saturday Night’s Main Event specials. Furthermore, while Netflix holds the Raw archives, the historical library for Friday Night SmackDown remains on Peacock for the foreseeable future.
The fate of the WCW and ECW video libraries—long a staple of the WWE Network and Peacock eras—remains a “wait and see” situation. As of this morning, those libraries have not yet appeared on Netflix, leaving fans wondering if they will eventually follow or find a different streaming home.
A Year of Netflix Dominance
The timing of this archive launch is no coincidence. This coming Monday, January 5, marks the one-year anniversary of Monday Night Raw moving to Netflix. To celebrate the milestone, WWE is pulling out all the stops with a high-profile crossover episode featuring the cast of the Netflix global phenomenon Stranger Things.
This integration of the historical library is the latest chapter in a massive 10-year, $5 billion partnership between Netflix and WWE’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings. For Netflix, it’s a move to solidify itself as a “must-have” for sports entertainment fans; for WWE, it provides a centralized platform with a massive global reach.
How to Watch
U.S. fans can access the new WWE hub through any standard Netflix subscription. As of early 2026, the pricing tiers are:
- Standard with Ads: $7.99/month (1080p)
- Standard (Ad-Free): $17.99/month (1080p)
- Premium: $24.99/month (4K + HDR)
For those looking to share the experience, Netflix continues to offer “Extra Member” slots ranging from $6.99 to $8.99 depending on the base plan.
With forty-one years of WrestleMania now just a click away, the “Netflix Era” of WWE is no longer just about the future—it’s now the definitive gatekeeper of the past.
