WWE and Netflix shocked the world last year by announcing their 10-year partnership, valued at $500 million per year for the Stamford-based promotion. The RAW premiere was confirmed for this past January, and the Netflix era of wrestling's flagship show is off to a strong start. A longtime partner just disclosed how the Los Gatos-based streamer is making more major moves with WWE.

World Wrestling Entertainment and Netflix noted before how the two companies were planning international expansion and additional content. There are smaller WWE productions to view on the world's largest streaming platform, and Triple H recently revealed how Netflix is helping with a major years-long goal. Now, the world's largest sports entertainment company is receiving Netflix's assistance with another wildly successful area for the wrestling industry: video games.

Netflix is set to add to the pro wrestling video game experience in a major way. Take-Two Interactive held their Q4 earnings call this week, and two titles were revealed for WWE, according to SmackDownHotel on X. It was confirmed that a WWE 2K26 title is being developed.
