To simplify, though, Netflix has access to several key live events that are, for now, essentially in two buckets. Those buckets also include vault items that are often restricted to the location of the live events . Special Live events like Wrestlemania, SmackDown, and NXT (Available in most international territories but notably excludes the US)

WWE is firmly on the Road to WrestleMania 41 and things are about to take an international twist. Starting with tonight’s episode of SmackDown, episode of the blue brand’s Friday night show and Monday Night Raw will be broadcast live from cities across Europe.

According to a report from WrestleVotes during a Q&A (via Ringside News), Netflix gave WWE the reigns when it comes to the production of the show, allowing them to censor what they want. Fans were irate after the RAW broadcast would go to black during certain moments of Punk and Rollins' Steel Cage match.
