Cody Rhodes On Netflix Deal With WWE: We’re Moving Up And Trying To Be In The Same Spotlight As The NFL

Cody Rhodes wants everyone to be ready for WWE Raw on Netflix.

While speaking with the Pat McAfee show, Cody Rhodes, who is the current WWE Undisputed Champion spoke about how big it’s going to be to see WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix when January comes and how they want to try to bring the WWE into the same spotlight as College Football and the NFL has had in the same couple of decades.

“I think the locker room is through the roof morale-wise in terms of going to Netflix. We all have it, we all watch Netflix and love it, but the idea of the streaming era, truthfully, WWE in the past was actually always a little bit ahead of the curve, in terms of banking content,” said Cody. “At first it was 24/7 on demand, then it was the Network and now Peacock, but Netflix is gonna be huge for us. When I say expanding and I say where we’re going, and I think certain individuals in the locker room, some of the champions, some of the top guys and girls know this as well, we’re going up in terms of our public spotlight, I suppose. College football, NFL, those are the biggest things on the planet. They really, really are. We’re moving up and trying to get in that air, and if you know anything about what we’re doing, we’re not far off, and Netflix, I think, is definitely a big part of that. This is a huge deal for Netflix, it’s a huge deal for WWE. I’m just excited that we get to kind of ride this new wave.”

Rhodes recently teamed up with Roman Reigns to successfully defeat Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at Bad Blood before they were confronted by The Rock who reminded Rhodes that he defeated him six months ago at WrestleMania 40.
