10 Big Changes Coming To WWE On Netflix

10. Pre-Emption A Thing Of The Past

Longtime Raw viewers will remember their favorite Monday night wrestling program being bantered off every February due to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show taking up residence on the USA Network. More recently, Raw found itself moved to Syfy this summer due to the Summer Olympics.

Viewership inevitably would decline as some fans struggled to adeptly navigate their way around a TV Guide and find the program on its temporary home, despite numerous reminders on the prior week’s Raw. SmackDown fell victim to this phenomenon during its run on FOX, pre-empted for Major League Baseball playoffs and other sports and bumped to FS1.

Netflix will have no such pre-emption problems, whether it’s due to a sporting event, dog show, or even a national emergency that pre-empts programs for a simulcast. Fans won’t have to worry about tracking down Raw on a different channel – they’ll just open the Netflix app, click and enjoy.
