Include WWE Smackdown on Netflix for US Audience Accessibility

The Issue

As a lifelong wrestling enthusiast, I and many others across the United States have continually found made effort to cherish the sport's spirit and vitality. Remarkably, an essential part of our weekly routine has been tuning in for WWE RAW, a feature that has been made appreciatively possible via the Netflix platform. However, the ability to watch WWE Smackdown, another pivotal WWE event, is currently unattainable for us. Hence, this petition seeks to broaden the accessibility of WWE programming on Netflix by including WWE Smackdown for the American audience.

Each week, millions of households globally tune into WWE Smackdown. According to WWE's corporate statistics, WWE Smackdown Live's average viewership in 2020 ranged between 2.13 to 2.61 million weekly viewers. Yet, many of these dedicated fans, particularly those in the United States, are unable to readily access this captivating program due to its absence from popular viewing platforms such as Netflix.

It is undeniable that making Smackdown available on Netflix would greatly benefit both WWE and Netflix. 

Through this petition, we kindly urge Netflix and WWE to consider our request, one that symbolizes the interests of wrestling fans across the nation. As fans, our enthusiasm and support should be able to flow unhindered. By making WWE Smackdown available on Netflix for US viewers, that is exactly what we hope to achieve. Please sign this petition to help make WWE more accessible to its loyal fans. 

THANK YOU!
