WWE Monday Night RAW Moving to NETFLIX

Anyone here watch Monday Night RAW, the longest running TV Show in History at 31 Years??? They've bounced from the USA Network where they we're at for like EVER, then bounced over to ESPN Briefly where that was a failure and then back to the USA Network, but now, apparently, NETFLIX has paid a massive $5 Billion for the rights to WWE Monday Night Raw for 5 Years with the option to renew for longer after the contract is up.. Anyone have thoughts on this move?? I'm guessing they're counting on most of the Demographic this is geared toward already subscribing to NETFLIX and would be a shoe in??

I haven't watched in years but I heard about this. Has Netflix ever live streamed any of their content before? Curious how this will play out since WWE does have a substantial older fan base who may not necessarily have Netflix, but at the same time more and more younger viewers don't have cable. Long term this may be a very good move.

Also, don't think Raw was ever on ESPN but they did switch from USA to TNN/Spike TV in the early 2000s before switching back to USA.

Is it just the live show or does it include all the archived footage?
