WWE has agreed to a deal that will see Nine continue to broadcast its flagship shows Raw and SmackDown in Australia.

The series will continue to be available on free-to-air television, with 9Go! Airing a weekly hour-long version of Raw at 11:15 p.m. on Thursdays and a one-hour edition of SmackDown at 11:15 p.m. on Fridays. Raw and SmackDown will also be available on 9NOW, Nine’s platform for authenticated subscribers, for a VOD catch-up window.

“We are excited to be able to present Raw and SmackDown to our audience and WWE’s massive fan base in Australia,” said Alison Hurbert-Burns, Nine’s director of content acquisition and commercial development.

“We are thrilled to extend our relationship with Nine, a best-in-class TV partner in Australia,” said Michelle Wilson, WWE’s co-president. “This continued partnership enables us to expand our reach in Australia and complements our live programming in the region.”
