WWE Expands Netflix Partnership With Planned Stranger Things Crossover – WWE is set to further expand its partnership with Netflix, with a new crossover promotion reportedly in the works involving Stranger Things, one of the streaming platform’s most successful original series.
According to WrestleVotes Radio, WWE and Netflix are expected to roll out a promotional collaboration tied to the hit show, although specific details regarding the format or execution have not yet been revealed.
The report notes that internal discussions have taken place, but the exact nature of the crossover remains unclear. At this stage, it is unknown whether the promotion will involve on-screen integration, themed branding, talent appearances, or social media and marketing tie-ins. Regardless of the form it takes, the move represents another step in WWE’s deepening relationship with Netflix.
WWE RAW currently streams weekly on Netflix, making it one of the platform’s flagship live sports-entertainment offerings. Stranger Things, meanwhile, stands as one of Netflix’s most recognizable and popular scripted series, creating a natural crossover opportunity as both brands look to maximize visibility during a major release window.
Stranger Things is approaching the conclusion of its run, with the final season being split into multiple releases. The second volume of season five is scheduled to debut on Christmas Day, followed by a two-hour series finale on New Year’s Eve. Both releases are set for 8 PM EST, aligning with prime-time viewing and making the timing ideal for cross-promotional efforts across Netflix properties.
The series has consistently ranked among Netflix’s most-watched shows of all time, with season four placing fourth on the platform’s all-time Top 10 list for English-language television. Created by the Duffer Brothers, the show stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, and a large ensemble cast that has helped define Netflix’s brand over the past decade.
This is not the first time WWE and Stranger Things have shared a connection. In the past, Rhea Ripley appeared in a WrestleMania 39 Hollywood promotional advertisement parodying Eleven, one of the show’s central characters. That appearance hinted at the crossover appeal between WWE talent and Netflix’s scripted content.
With Stranger Things nearing its finale and WWE continuing to position RAW as a cornerstone of Netflix’s live programming strategy, a crossover promotion appears to be a logical next step. While details remain limited, the reported collaboration underscores Netflix’s growing integration of WWE into its broader entertainment ecosystem.
