Braun Strowman Eager for Uncensored WWE RAW on Netflix

One big thing

WWE Superstar Braun Strowman is excited about the potential for uncensored content when Monday Night RAW moves to Netflix in January 2025.

Why it matters

The $5 billion deal between WWE and Netflix could significantly alter the content and presentation of RAW, potentially allowing for more adult-oriented language and themes.

By the numbers

• $5 billion: Reported value of the WWE-Netflix deal
• 10 years: Duration of the agreement
• January 2025: Scheduled start date for RAW on Netflix

What they’re saying

Strowman on The Ringer Wrestling Show:

“I can’t wait until we go to Netflix so we can say whatever the f**k we want to. Literally, that’s what we joke about, who gets to say the first F-bomb on TV, without getting fined for it.”

The big picture

• Triple H confirmed earlier this year that WWE content on Netflix will be uncensored.
• The extent of this uncensored approach remains unclear.
• Some wrestlers, like CM Punk, caution against relying on explicit language as a crutch.

What to watch

• How WWE balances its PG image with potential adult content
• The impact on storylines and character development
• Viewer response to any changes in language or themes

The bottom line

The move to Netflix presents WWE with new creative opportunities, but also challenges in maintaining its broad appeal across different age groups.
