WWE Raw Listed As TV-14 On Netflix
The PG era of WWE Raw may be well and truly over
Nov 19, 2024
The PG era of Monday Night Raw may very well be a thing of the past when WWE's flagship show moves to Netflix in the new year.
The current listing of Raw on Netflix has given the show a TV-14 rating. WWE NXT, meanwhile, has been given a PG rating and SmackDown has an MA rating. In the United Kingdom, Monday Night Raw is listed with a 15 rating, SmackDown has an 18 rating, and NXT has a 12 rating.
WWE SmackDown being rated as an 18 has led to questions about whether the current listings on Netflix are only provisional, especially as it is extremely difficult to be classified as an 18 in the United Kingdom by the BBFC. Movies suitable only for adults in the UK usually must include incredibly graphic violence, glamourised depictions of suicide/self-harm, or contain "explicit images of sexual activity in the context of pornography."
Monday Night Raw will move to Netflix from January 6, 2025 as part of a 10-year deal between WWE and the streaming service. The Raw premiere on Netflix will air from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California and is planned to be a PPV-calibre show.
Only Raw will air on Netflix in the United States. In the United Kingdom, however, WWE's entire slate of programming will air on Netflix beginning with Raw on January 6.
