Ahead of the WWE Raw’s jump to Netflix in early 2025, both parties hosted a media event to commence their partnership. Going down from the headquarters of Netflix in Los Angeles, California, several WWE Superstars and head honchos attended the show to promote the content on the biggest online streaming platform, live.
Given the numbers, WWE’s current product surpassed all the previous eras, including the best phase, the Attitude Era, according to WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque. Speaking at the WWE & Netflix Lunch and Learn event ahead of the WWE Raw premiere in January, Levesque responded to a comment from Michael Cole, who mentioned the Attitude Era as WWE’s biggest era.
“I don’t think that is accurate anymore. I think it’s right now, and I think that the moment that we are going through right now,” Triple H chimed in to promote WWE Raw on Netflix. “You mentioned the Triple H Era. I don’t think it’s that. I think this, at the end of it, is going to be called the Netflix Era. That’s where the big change is.”

During the event, Netflix COO Bela Bajaria noted that viewers shouldn’t worry about watching WWE Raw on their platform despite the challenges they experienced during the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight. The highly anticipated boxing match drew over 65 million viewers worldwide but those issues have since been fixed, according to Bajaria’s conversation with Deadline.
