WWE recently entered an official partnership with Netflix for the streaming rights of Monday Night Raw. The deal, which will take effect from January 2025 is a massive hit with the fans. This was a breakthrough event for the pro wrestling outfit, especially after reaching a dead end with their TV network.

While WWE has now cracked a contract with the $200 billion streaming giant, this is actually its third act in the streaming world. In fact, the Stanford-based company had built its own network online, which turned out to be a massive success. A recent social media upload has announced the dropping of curtains on WWE’s original service, as fans react to this huge milestone.

The happy ending of a decade-long era

Just a month from now and ten years ago, WWE launched the WWE Network for its fans on 24th February 2004. Launching itself just 20 days after today’s social media goliath Facebook, it didn’t have the power of social media to promote itself back then. However, it relied on the impact it had created in everyone’s hearts with their live TV shows.
