the problems with Netflix are that
A. it's a subscription service that not everyone has. Obviously you had to pay for cable, but you either have cable or you don't, it's not like you were picking and choosing which channels you were getting. With subscription services, if you're paying for any of them, you're making a conscious decision of which ones you pay for. Also this is just Raw. Smackdown is still gonna be on cable since it's moving back to USA. And it looks like PLEs are still gonna be on Peacock in the US. So now if you're a WWE fan, you need cable, a kikeflix subscription and a peacock subscription.
B. Netflix is terrible about burying shit, you have to actively sift and search through shit to find what you want to watch. There's gonna be a lot less people stumbling across it.
C. I would assume this means that all episodes of Raw will be on demand like everything else on Netflix, which means there's not much of an incentive to watch live. Obviously you could always DVR stuff (if you had one), but that's a conscious effort on the viewer's part. Now you can just watch the episode whenever you want, without any sort of effort or thought on your part. You fall out of your habit of watching it at the same time every week. Eventually you fall out of the habit of watching it at all.
obviously it's not the end of the world and they're making a shit ton of money off this, but it's not really a recipe to grow their brand or audience in the long run
