Sports as entertainment attracts many viewers worldwide, and Netflix has snuck in more sports broadcasts into its offerings. The most notable live sports broadcast on Netflix so far is the boxing fight between former champion Mike Tyson and YouTube star Jake Paul, which aired on November 16, 2024.

Starting January 6, 2025, you can watch American professional wrestling in the form of WWE on Netflix in the USA and many other countries, including Sweden. WWE, which stands for World Wrestling Entertainment, is more of an entertainment show than a real sport, as all wrestlers and participants in the matches act according to a script. These shows are spectacular, and even though the wrestlers prioritize safety and do everything they can to avoid hurting each other, accidents can still happen where wrestlers start bleeding or get injured for real. This adds extra excitement for the youngest viewers who still believe the show is real.

The Battle between Good and Evil

The shows are scripted to have a good and an evil side. The wrestlers are divided into these two sides, which adds extra excitement as viewers can take sides. This requires extra acting skills from the wrestlers to be able to act out their roles convincingly, as things can get heated during verbal battles.

WWE and the Wrestlers as Athletes and Actors

The wrestlers participating in the show are, however, well-trained and skilled athletes who would never be able to perform the often spectacular matches that involve many acrobatic stunts if they weren't. The script also requires the wrestlers to act and have dialogue, making them believable in their roles. There are also big stars who were born as former WWE wrestlers, such as "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson and John Cena, who are both popular Hollywood actors.

Female Athletes in WWE

There are both male and female athletes in WWE. The female athletes in WWE are called divas and are just as athletic and acrobatic as the men who participate. The divas have become very popular and a big part of WWE, with many social media followers and contributing to lifting WWE as entertainment to new heights. Notable stars include Natalya Neidhart and Rebecca Knox.

If you like shows where athletes perform spectacular stunts and acrobatic numbers, then WWE is perfect for you."
