Peacock Expecting To Lose WWE PLEs When Current Contract Expires

The expectation within Peacock is that WWE's content will leave the streaming service when their current deal comes to an end in 2026.

That is according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter who has reported that the expectation within Peacock is that WWE will move "everything" to Netflix.

WWE agreed a 10-year $5 billion deal with Netflix earlier this year that will see Monday Night Raw air on Netflix from January 2025. The deal has far greater implications internationally, though, and WWE Raw, SmackDown, NXT, premium live events, and the library will be available on Netflix in territories outside of the United States, including the United Kingdom .

WWE's pay-per-views/premium live events currently air on Peacock in the United States, while the WWE Network remains active internationally.

WWE PLEs have aired on Peacock since March 2021 following a five-year agreement between WWE and NBCUniversal worth $1 billion.

Even if WWE PLEs leave Peacock, the pro wrestling company will remain partnered with NBCUniversal until 2028 due to SmackDown airing on USA Network in the US.
