Netflix: WWE Raw changes the week’s streaming landscape
WWE Raw launched on Netflix in Canada on January 6, 2025. The programme is a live, continuing weekly broadcast with replay access governed by Netflix’s availability, rather than a one-time season drop. The matching contemporary roundup identifies this launch as the week’s major Netflix event; it does not provide a fully verified list of additional Netflix Canada additions for these dates, so no unconfirmed titles are listed here. Check Netflix Canada for the account-specific catalogue.
Prime Video: verify the billing category before watching
The contemporary Canadian roundup confirms a Prime Video release on January 9, 2025, but the title and its inclusion status cannot be established from the available announcement. That distinction matters because Prime Video combines titles included with a Prime membership, rentals, purchases and separate channel subscriptions. Treat any January 9 listing as unverified until it is checked in the Canadian Prime Video catalogue and labelled with its actual charge type. The service’s Canadian entry point is Prime Video Canada.

Crave subscription and Prime Video Channels
The schedule above is for Crave availability in Canada and assumes access to the relevant Crave service. Crave can be subscribed to directly at Crave.ca or added as a separate Prime Video Channel at Prime Video. A regular Prime membership does not automatically include Crave. Amazon’s March 6, 2024 announcement cited $21.99 per month for Crave’s Premium ad-free channel plan at that time; that historical figure is not a current 2025 or 2026 price.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Which service is worth prioritizing?
- Choose Netflix if WWE Raw is the specific draw or you already use Netflix’s broader catalogue.
- Choose Crave for the strongest concentration of major scripted premieres, HBO-related programming, the Sopranos prequel and a complete-season binge.
- Check Prime Video carefully before subscribing for one title: confirm whether the programme is included, rented, purchased or behind an additional channel.
These dates describe the Canadian release plans announced for January 6–12, 2025, not current 2026 catalogue availability.
