WWE executives are moving their flagship show from Comcast's USA Network to the new streaming home with hopes that they can bring in more fans of all ages around the world.

"When you look at Netflix and its global reach and the power of its brand, it was time that our brand met up with theirs," said WWE President Nick Khan.

Netflix agreed to pay more than $5 billion for rights to show "Raw" and other WWE programming including "Smackdown" and "Wrestlemania" over 10 years, part of the streaming service's move into live events that are attractive to advertisers.
