WWE Raw has early UK start time tonight – live on Netflix
Don't miss a second of the action.
WWE is continuing its blockbuster European tour with firmly WrestleMania 41 just weeks away.
Starting with Friday’s episode of SmackDown in Barcelona, the blue brand’s weekly show and Monday Night Raw are being broadcast live on Netflix with an international flavour.
It’s the first time in history WWE has aired a run of major shows outside North America in the buildup to its biggest premium live event of the year in Las Vegas on April 19 and 20.
There’s a lot going on from the aftermath of John Cena’s heel turn to Roman Reigns getting involved in CM Punk and Seth Rollins’ intensely personal rivalry, plus the building tension between Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky and Bianca Belair.
Last week’s SmackDown proved what the unique atmosphere in Europe can add to WWE’s shows, with Spain’s own Axiom have a star-making showing against GUNTHER.

Previous Page Next Page Why are Raw and SmackDown changing start times?It all comes down to WWE’s ongoing Road to WrestleMania tour across Europe, and the new Netflix deal.
In the past, whenever WWE aired shows from the UK, they’d air on a delay to fit with the US broadcast times, which were still in the early hours for us.
However, that’s all changed with Netflix, as the streaming giant has the WWE rights for most of the world outside the United States, while international crowds have raised the bar in recent years.
Monday Night Raw airs on the streamer pretty much everywhere including the US at this point, so the show will be fully live wherever they are in the world.
Thankfully for fans outside the US, that includes SmackDown, which is part of our Netflix subscription, but is still broadcast on the USA Network for fans in the States.

WWE Raw roster and championsGiven the move to Netflix, the WWE Raw roster is absolutely stacked from top to bottom with major superstars and unrivalled talent.
Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky and World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER sit at the top with their respective titles, but the likes of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and CM Punk are all featured at the top of the card.
John Cena is also set to appear in Brussels on Raw, although it’s not clear if he and Cody Rhodes will keep their bitter feud on SmackDown after tonight.
