WWE's deal with Netflix has a few loopholes, believes Vince Russo (Exclusive)

WWE started 2025 with a bang as they made the historic shift from television programming to Netflix across the globe. The deal brought a lot of eyeballs to the product and provided the company with widespread and mainstream popularity.

However, a lot of the positivity that came with the move to Netflix seems to have died down in recent weeks. Reports claim that WWE is currently struggling with its ratings on Netflix, which is beginning to cause concern for the TKO board.

Speaking about the situation on BroDown on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, former WWE writer Vince Russo claimed that the deal is sure to have some loopholes. He believes that with the kind of money involved in this huge deal, there needs to be loopholes to protect the interests of both parties.

​

"They got a 10-year deal, I believe, with Netflix. I would assume in business when you have big holes, big deals like this, bro, there's got to be loopholes there. There's got to be there has to be loopholes where you can get out of these deals. Otherwise, the ratings can go down to zero and Netflix is still paying them the same amount of money. I would have to think there's loopholes for them to get out early if they want to. I would have to believe that with this kind of money involved," Russo said. [22:37 onwards]

While reports claim that WWE is struggling with its views, the company prepares for its upcoming PLE. They're slated to host the Money in the Bank on June 7, 2025, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
