WWE Still Working On Plans For Raw's Q4 2024 Home

WWE are currently without a TV deal for Monday Night Raw for Q4 2024 but TKO are continuing to work on securing a temporary media rights deal for WWE's flagship show.

"We also intend to renew our license or find an alternate provider to carry Raw in the U.S. for the 90-day period from October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 before it moves to Netflix as described below. These domestic licenses together account for a very significant portion of our media segment revenues and profitability. No assurances can be provided as to the outcome of these negotiations and, if we are unable to renew existing agreements or find alternative streaming or distribution partners, our results of operations could be adversely impacted," TKO CFO Andrew Schleimer stated during the TKO Q4 2023 earnings call.

Schleimer was positive, however, that Raw would find a home for Q4 2024 in the United States. The show's current TV deal with USA Network expires at the end of September and Raw will begin airing on Netflix from January 2025 in the United States and internationally as part of a 10-year deal worth $5 billion. The Raw portion of the WWE-Netflix deal is estimated to be worth between a 20 and 30 per cent raise from Raw's current deal of $265 million per year.

It was noted in January by an NBC official that USA Network wouldn't be extending their deal to air Raw until the end of 2024.

In the United Kingdom, WWE Raw and SmackDown will remain on TNT Sports until the end of the year before moving to Netflix in January 2025. The WWE Network will also be shutting down and WWE's classic content will migrate to Netflix.
