Notable events
[edit]- January 1 –
- Fight for the Fallen special of AEW Dynamite began All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) new media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), where Dynamite and AEW Collision are simulcast on their respective TV channels (TBS and TNT) and WBD's streaming platform Max.
- WWE Network nearly worldwide shut down, with WWE content moved to Netflix in international markets where WWE Network was still available. A select few territories still maintain the WWE Network for an undetermined period of time due to pre-existing contracts and will then transition to Netflix.
- January 3 – WWE SmackDown expanded to three hours for the first time since its inception.
- January 6 – WWE Raw premiered on Netflix after airing on the USA Network since 2005, also marking the first time in the show's history in which it did not air on linear television. Also for the first time and due to the advantage of the streaming platform over set runtimes on cable, the show became flexible, with WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque stating the average runtime would be around 2.5 hours.
- January 16 – WWE and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) announced a multi-year partnership, allowing more opportunities for wrestlers from WWE's NXT brand to perform at TNA events and vice versa. An agreement between the two companies began in January 2024, which saw various wrestlers from each company appearing and performing on the other's shows.
- February 15 – Grand Slam Australia will be All Elite Wrestling's first event in Australia.
- August 2 & 3 – First two-night WWE SummerSlam.
