With over 1,600 episodes to date, WWE's Raw is considered to be one of the most iconic shows in sports entertainment - since its debut 31 years ago, it has delivered "action, compelling drama and unmatched athleticism – 52 weeks a year".

"This deal is transformative," Mark Shapiro, TKO president and COO, said. "It marries the can't-miss WWE product with Netflix's extraordinary global reach, and locks in significant and predictable economics for many years.

"Our partnership fundamentally alters and strengthens the media landscape, dramatically expands the reach of WWE, and brings weekly live appointment viewing to Netflix."

So, when can fans expect to get their dose of all things WWE on Netflix? Read on for everything you need to know.
