“WWE RAW” on Netflix has proven to be a successful decision of the cable so far, the show drawing numbers of global viewers and featuring several celebrities present on a weekly base. Many wondered if Netflix was the first choice of WWE for the Red brand, but Paul Heyman recently made clarification on the initial objective of the company. Speaking on “Sports media with Richard Dunish,” Heyman noted that Amazon Prime, Paramount Plus or another agreement with the USA network was on the table, but Netflix was certainly the preferred option.
“There were a lot of reports in the media of the possibility of a Netflix agreement.” Heyman said. “There were so many different rumors. Hope was still Netflix? Oh, of course, this is the first distribution platform for the spectator of today’s content in what would be an archaic description of The vision of television … So whatever the viewing of the content vision designed for television, the premium platform today is Netflix.
Heyman also revealed that if WWE talent and staff planned how the transformer move to Netflix would be, explaining that although the wrestlers are concerned about their stories on the screen, those focused on the commercial side of the ‘Company hoped to win a Netflix Agreement.
I think that a lot of talents have been caught up and rightly, day by day, from weekdays, stories from month to month that we must have in our heads in order to do the tasks, interviews, promotions , the matches … Some of us who analyze the industry were sitting here praying every day so that it is Netflix. “”
