WWE’s partnership with Netflix takes a turn no one saw coming
BBC Newsbeat reported that Triple H confirmed Netflix had “no input”

while Netflix only decided “how long the show is, when we go off air, or what time we are on air.”
He compared the arrangement to sports broadcasting, explaining that content decisions remained solely with WWE. His remarks clarified that despite the streaming deal, WWE retained full creative authority over its programming.
