WWE Shifts to Netflix in India
Big changes are ahead for WWE fans in India. Starting April 1, all WWE programming will be available live on Netflix, making it easier for fans to enjoy RAW, SmackDown, and more. Fans will also have the option to watch instant replays if they miss the live stream. With this move, WWE is no longer available on traditional TV channels in India.
Will WWE Host a Premium Event in India?

WWE’s Popularity in India
Khan also discussed WWE’s popularity in India, stating that it is the second-most-watched sport in the country, just behind cricket. WWE’s appeal spans generations, with both men and women enjoying the shows, often as families watching together. The deep stories and characters that unfold in the ring have contributed to WWE’s growing fanbase.
Cena’s Heel Turn: A Moment Fans Will Never Forget
