WWE's deal with Netflix reportedly worth $5 billion
Netflix signed a massive deal with WWE at the start of 2024 which saw them fully commit to airing live shows with the company for the next 10 years.
The decade-long deal with World Wrestling Entertainment sees the streaming platform pay a reported $500m a year for the rights to their shows.
Those reports from The Guardian last year say that the deal sees Netflix pay "in excess of" $5bn a year according to the stock market filing.
