The Stamford-based promotion ushered into 2025 with a new look as Monday Night Raw shifted from television to exclusively on Netflix, while in some regions the promotion aired as usual due to previous contracts, India was one of those markets where WWE aired exclusively on Sony Pictures Network India (SPNI).

RAW, SmackDown, Premium Live Events and other shows are now broadcast on Netflix in most regions globally and India will be added to the list soon, SmackDown and PLEs remained on USA Network and Peacock in the United States.

The streaming giant has already announced via all their social media platforms that WWE programs are soon coming to their platform in India in April.
