  • In a major development for the Indian sports entertainment landscape, WWE's media rights are set to move from Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) to Netflix India, following the expiration of SPNI's current deal in March 2025.

The article discusses the potential for a clash between WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and IPL (Indian Premier League) in 2025 due to WWE's new broadcasting deal in India. Sony Sports Network has secured the exclusive rights to broadcast WWE's flagship shows like 'Raw', 'SmackDown', and 'NXT', along with major events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble, starting from 2025. This deal aims to expand WWE's reach in India, a market with a significant fan base for both wrestling and cricket. The IPL, known for its massive viewership and cultural impact in India, traditionally runs from March to May, overlapping with WWE's major events. This overlap could lead to a competition for viewership, especially considering the timing of WWE's big events like WrestleMania, which often falls during the IPL season. The article highlights the strategic importance of this deal for WWE to tap into the Indian market, potentially leading to a unique scenario where fans might have to choose between watching cricket or wrestling, or enjoy both, given the different demographics and fan bases of these sports entertainment giants.
