Netflix India's Official Instagram Page Teases WWE Arrival: What You Need to Know

For two decades, Sony has been the undisputed champion of WWE in India. Those late-night SmackDown marathons, the electrifying build-up to WrestleMania, and even the thrill of live WWE events, it was all courtesy of Sony. But get ready for a seismic shift: WWE is jumping ship, landing exclusively on Netflix soon.
Here's everything you need to know about when WWE might start streaming on Netflix India.
The official Instagram page of Netflix India teased fans with a video showcasing every dramatic wins, losses and moments from the WWE archival footage. The post's caption reads, "Is this the smelllllll of all the drama that’s cooking 🥊❤️ WWE is coming soon, live on Netflix."

Of course, this transition won't happen overnight. For now, Indian fans can continue to enjoy WWE on Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV. While the exact details for the Indian market are still emerging, it's expected that WWE programming will transition to Netflix in April 2025.
Additionally, the WWE Universe witnessed history unfold on January 6th as Monday Night Raw made its triumphant debut on Netflix. The electric atmosphere at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, was palpable as the world's biggest wrestling show transitioned from traditional television to the streaming giant. The night was a spectacle of star power, featuring appearances from legends like The Rock, The Undertaker, and Hulk Hogan, while John Cena officially kicked off his farewell tour.
This transition marks the end of a long and successful partnership between WWE and Sony in India. However, it also opens up exciting possibilities for the future. Netflix, with its global reach and innovative technology, could potentially introduce WWE to a wider audience in India, reaching beyond traditional television viewers.
However, this shift also raises questions. Will the move to a subscription-based platform make WWE less accessible to casual fans? How will Netflix ensure a smooth transition and maintain the excitement that has defined WWE's presence in India for so long?
