Technical issues strike WWE Raw stream on Netflix

For some WWE fans, a promising evening watching Monday Night Raw instead turned into a night of Netflix and ill will.

The Netflix stream of Raw was hit with technical issues on some platforms. The issue was widespread enough to trend on social media. A blurb reading “Netflix removes rewind and restart features for live WWE Raw stream” appeared on X’s sidebar and scores of unhappy customers were voicing their concerns, to put it politely. 

“Now WWE and Netflix have removed the ability to start RAW from the beginning while it’s live,” wrote Joe Negron of the Smart Fan Wrestling Podcast. “There’s no progress bar, no option to start over, all options gone. On the computer, iPhone, and iPad so far. If nobody has answers, it’s CANCELLIN’ TIME!”

Bryan Alvarez reported his own issues on X, and several frustrated viewers reported their own problems. However, while some feared this would be a permanent change, that appears to not be the case. “I am told there is a glitch on Netflix that they’re aware of and working to fix,” he reports. 

One user replied that his issues had already been resolved: “Yeah mine is fixed now I can rewind or go forward like normal.”
