WWE officially announces move to Netflix in Japan starting October

WWE today officially announced that all of its programming in Japan will move to Netflix starting October 1.

Raw, Smackdown, NXT, premium live events, and the current video library available in other Netflix markets will also be available for Japanese customers.

The WWE broadcast rights in the country are currently held by ABEMA, but that contract expires on September 30.

The final WWE broadcast on the ABEMA streaming service will be the September 28 episode of Raw, which airs on September 29 in Japan.

After this move, the countries of Austria, Germany, Switzerland, China, South Africa, and all of Sub-Saharan Africa will be the only ones not fully on Netflix due to current contracts with local broadcasters. PLEs in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland already air on Netflix.
