Cody Rhodes Hypes Up RAW Netflix Deal
On the Pat McAfee show, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes had high praise for the Netflix deal as he revealed that everyone in the locker room was very excited for the shift.
“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. First it was 24/7 On Demand, then it was the Network, now it’s Peacock. But Netflix is going to be huge for us. When I say expanding and I see where it’s going I think certain individuals in the locker room, some of the champions, some of the top guys and girls in the locker room know this as well.

We are going up in terms of our public spotlight I suppose. College Football, NFL, those are the biggest things on the planet, they really are. We are moving up and trying to get in that air and if you know anything about what we are doing we are not that far off. Netflix is definitely a big part of that, it’s a huge deal for Netflix, it’s a huge deal for WWE . I’m just excited we get to ride this new wave,” said Rhodes.
