LA Knight reveals what newcomers can expect from WWE on Netflix

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, the wrestler explained how his initial reaction to the news was a positive one.

"There's a bigger opportunity there for more eyes," he said. "I think gone are the days of channel surfing where you run into WWE or SmackDown. Now there's that opportunity of, you load up Netflix and right there on the main page you can see LA Knight, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns or even just a highlight of WWE."

He continued: "It could be people who maybe haven't checked in a while, or maybe have never seen our product at all. And now can go at their leisure. Now instead of catching it at 8 o'clock or whatever time, you check it out."

With a larger reach comes an even bigger chance of new fans being introduced to the world of WWE, and for those fresh viewers, there is plenty to get excited about.

Asked what newcomers can expect to see, Knight used his mother as an example, who wasn't previously a fan until she watched her son.

The former United States Champion told RadioTimes.com: "My mum was never a big fan and maybe she's a little biased now because I'm in it, but she came to WrestleMania last year, and now she's in love with it.

"She's like, 'Oh my god, I saw Snoop Dogg' and this and that. And now it's like, all she does is search and Google wrestling and WWE all the time.

"And I'm like, 'You got to take it easy. Just calm down.' But if she can be turned and become like a big, major fan, anybody can get in there. And the reason is because there's something for everybody.

"You're gonna laugh, you're gonna cry, you're gonna get mad, you're gonna have a great time all round."

WWE is coming to Netflix in January 2025. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
