Two WWE stars set for Netflix MLB opening night appearance
Fans tuning into opening night of the Major League Baseball season will see an appearance by WWE World Tag Team Champions The Usos.
The 2026 MLB season begins this Wednesday when the San Francisco Giants host the New York Yankees. It will be broadcast on Netflix as the first MLB game to ever air live on the platform, and that presents an opportunity for Netflix to highlight some of its other programming. It’s been confirmed that Jimmy & Jey Uso will be appearing on the coverage as special guests.
The Usos are pulling up to Opening Night 🔥 @WWE Superstars Jey & Jimmy Uso will be special guests on #OpeningNight — the first-ever @MLB game on Netflix.

Our Bryan Alvarez first reported over the weekend that WWE was sending some of its talent to the Giants vs. Yankees game to do cross-promotion.
Since WWE began its relationship with Netflix, we’ve seen WWE wrestlers make similar appearances like Seth Rollins and CM Punk joining Netflix’s NFL coverage and Rollins being part of the broadcast team for a Netflix skyscraping special.
Netflix is the broadcast home of WWE Raw in the United States and also hosts much of WWE’s archival catalogue. Internationally, it carries a wider array of WWE content including PLEs. Those PLEs do not air on Netflix in the U.S. due to WWE’s deal with ESPN.
WWE is currently in the biggest promotional stretch of its year with WrestleMania 42 now less than a month away. On Raw tonight (March 23), The Usos have a match against Logan Paul & Austin Theory.
