WWE Raw On Netflix Suffers From Major Streaming Issues

Monday Night Raw was borderline unwatchable during the final minutes of the February 3 episode on Netflix due to streaming issues on the platform.

Raw in both the United States and internationally would often cut to a black screen and lose audio during the two-and-a-half-hour broadcast and the issues were particularly bad during the final minutes of Raw following CM Punk's win over Sami Zayn in the main event.

Fans sticking around for the final minutes of the show were presented with the broadcast constantly losing its audio and video, which ultimately made it difficult to watch the handshake between CM Punk and Sami Zayn and then Kevin Owens attacking Zayn from behind. The feed fortunately improved for the final 50 seconds of Raw which saw Owens take out Zayn with a package piledriver.

The issues appear to have been with WWE's live broadcast inside Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio as the Netflix graphics remained on-screen during the issues and there were no streaming problems while a graphic for Elimination Chamber was displayed during the final minutes of Raw.

February 3 was the first time WWE Raw has suffered major streaming issues since moving to Netflix in the new year as part of a 10-year deal worth $5 billion. Netflix previously suffered from major issues during the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match in late 2024.
