Tonight, Netflix will take another step into live broadcasting by launching its coverage of WWE’s flagship programme, Raw. It is the first show of a decade-long agreement. This is a high-value deal, one reported to be worth $5billion (£4bn) by Deadline, a U.S. entertainment news outlet — but it came together rather easily.

WWE used to be a guilty pleasure, but the rest of the world is embracing it,' the reigning Women's World Champion says.

"WWE Raw" will debut on Netflix on January 6, and viewers tuning in can look forward to an appearance from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
