The entertainment industry is buzzing with a revolutionary announcement that may indefinitely transform our viewing experience of wrestling. WWE RAW, the most popular show of World Wrestling Entertainment, is scheduled to premiere on Netflix next month.
Sami Zayn, a significant figure in WWE, recently expressed his views on a major shift in the wrestling industry: WWE’s transition to Netflix. He believes that it may serve as a litmus test for the wider entertainment sector.
He said
“It’s hard to actually articulate it because it’s such a massive move for not only our business, the wrestling business and WWE, but it could potentially even be a litmus test for the entire entertainment industry in some respects. We’ll only know the effects of this maybe five, ten years down the road when something like this becomes more commonplace and people will be able to look back and go like ‘Oh, you know what, WWE saw where things were headed.’ I personally think that will be the case.”
Streaming platforms such as Netflix have revolutionized how people consume content. Netflix has emerged as a dominant force in entertainment, including several programs and blockbuster films. WWE’s decision to introduce RAW on Netflix is an innovative move that places the business at the forefront of this transition.

Zayn believes that this transition signifies evolving viewing preferences, with people favoring streaming services over cable television. This transition is not only about changing platforms; it indicates acceptance of shifting consumer tastes and the necessity for WWE to adjust accordingly.
He also believes that WWE’s move to Netflix may act as a “litmus test” for the entertainment sector. If successful, this partnership might set a precedent for other major sports and entertainment entities to follow in its footsteps.
