Netflix Open to Live Afternoon RAW Episodes During Europe Tours – Earlier this week, WWE announced an eleven-city tour on the Road to WrestleMania that will see talent travel in March to Barcelona, Spain; Dortmund, Germany; Hannover, Germany; Brussels, Belgium; Bologna, Italy; Belfast, Northern Ireland; Nottingham, England; Glasgow, Scotland; Vienna, Austria; Amsterdam, Netherlands; and London, England.
For the first time ever, there will be consecutive episodes of Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown from different cities across the UK and Europe over three weeks in March. WWE has been airing more international PLEs live in the afternoon.
During the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio on SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Patreon, it was noted that Netflix is open to airing live afternoon episodes of Raw when they tour in Europe.
JoeyVotes stated, “WWE did make some big news internationally this week, as they announced a three-week tour of the United Kingdom, directly in the middle of WrestleMania season, with six of those shows being TV episodes of both Raw and SmackDown. We are told that, after speaking with Netflix sources, that Netflix is absolutely open to the idea of broadcasting those Rawaw shows live as they happen. Basically, TC, we could be looking at some Monday afternoon Raw right in the middle of WrestleMania season. We’re told that WWE is considering the idea, no decision, one way or the other, but Netflix is on board for doing those shows live as they happen. Of course, Smackdown will be on tape delay from USA Network. Nothing changing there, but to be determined, if Netflix wants to host these shows live as it’s on the table.”
