This is what the Netflix Generation of WWE looks like. For the first time in history, Monday Night Raw will air live in the middle of the afternoon in America as WWE’s flagship show broadcasts from Belgium.
Netflix continues to shake up the pro wrestling world, streaming Monday Night Raw live from Brussels on March 17. Instead of its usual 8 p.m. ET start time, the show will begin in the States when it starts in Belgium at 3 p.m. ET / Noon PT. This marks a major shift from WWE’s previous strategy of airing pre-recorded international shows on tape delay. With Raw now streaming globally, WWE can air events live for audiences around the world, no matter the time zone.
This week’s episode is also significant as it features John Cena’s first appearance since his shocking heel turn at Elimination Chamber. Cena is scheduled to be on the show alongside WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, setting the stage for major WrestleMania storylines. It may be St. Patrick’s Day, but luck may have run out for the Dashing one as John, evil for the first time in over 20 years, rolls up on Netflix.
Raw’s Early Start Time and WWE’s European Tour
With WWE’s European tour in full swing, the next three episodes of Raw will also feature early start times. On Monday, March 17, WWE Raw begins at 3:00 PM ET.
Next week, on Monday, March 24, Raw will air from Glasgow, Scotland, and on March 31, the show will be live from The O2 in London. This format allows WWE to deliver real-time action to fans worldwide without worrying about spoilers leaking online. For fans in North America who can’t watch live in the afternoon, the good news is that Raw will be available on demand, allowing viewers to catch up at their usual time or whenever they choose.
