In December 2024, it was announced that WWE Network would step down as the main provider after ten years.

WWE said: “On January 1, 2025, WWE Network will no longer be available in some locations worldwide.

“After January 1, Netflix will be the new exclusive home of WWE in these countries.”

“Netflix will bring WWE’s electrifying content all to one place in some international markets, including weekly shows, Monday Night RAW, SmackDown and NXT, PLUS Premium Live Events (PLEs) such as WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam.”

The weekly flagship programme introduced by Netflix has already shown RAW, with the package reportedly worth a staggering $5billion.

Traditionally, wrestling fans would have needed to be a network subscriber, with those in the UK able to receive viewings of each event on TNT Sports through a one-time fee.

Is the 2025 Royal Rumble free to watch on Netflix?

Yes, if you already have a subscription, the 38th annual Rumble will be available to watch for Netflix subscribers at no additional cost – for UK users only.

Fans in the UK who already have a Netflix subscription can watch the action live,

If you don’t have an account you will need to sign up to Netflix from £4.99 here.

However, in the States, WWE still has a contract with streaming service Peacock until 2026 – which is where the Rumble will be shown.

What Netflix plan is needed to watch WWE?

Netflix currently offers a variety of plans for users, which include two standard packages – one with adverts – and a premium one.

All WWE live events on Netflix are included in all plans.

A PLUS-SIZED rapper has sued American taxi service Lyft after claiming a driver refused to pick her up over fears she could “burst his tyres”.

The moment Blanding confronts the driver[/caption]

Blanding insisted: “I can fit in this car.”

The driver confidently responded in the clip: “Believe me, you can’t.”

Despite the driver saying he would refund the rapper on her ride, she sued the ride-hailing service claiming she was discriminated against.

Shamed Blanding said to Fox 2: “I’ve been in cars smaller than that.

“I just want them to know that it hurt my feelings.”

After sharing the video to her Instagram that has since gone viral, many viewers jumped to the Lyft driver’s defence, saying that she should have followed his advice and ordered a larger XL.

One comment said: “It’s against the law to overload a car.

“The driver was very polite, he explained his valid reasons, and even apologized.

“Try seeing things from another’s perspective.”

In the video circulating social media, Blanding said in the caption she felt “discriminated” against by the driver.

She said: “AM I WRONG? Lyft what have you all got to say about this driver [who] discriminated against me?

“I just feel like you all treat big people like s***.

“Like we don’t belong here.”

The rapper filed a lawsuit against the Lyft driver, claiming she was unfairly treated.

She said in her legal action that she suffered emotional distress and humiliation.

The driver pulled up in a Mercedes Benz sedan before looking his doors and attempting to drive away when he saw her, Blanding says in her suit.

She claims that when she confronted him, the driver told her she was too big to fit in his backseats and said his tired couldn’t support her weight.

Shocked Blanding responded in the clip: “What do I have to do with your tires?”

Blanding shared a photo with her attorneys on Instagram[/caption]

Blanding’s attorneys Jonathan Marko and Zach Runyan argued that the Lyft driver refusing to take the rapper constituted discrimination because weight is a protected characteristic in Michigan.

Marko told Fox 2: “I knew that it was illegal, and I knew that it was wrong.”

The attorney also equated the refusal to pick up Blanding to “refusing someone transportation based on their race or religion”.

Runyan added: “Refusing someone transportation based on their weight is not only illegal, but dangerous.

“Imagine the consequences if Ms. Blanding were unable to seek shelter after the driver left her stranded.

“This could have ended even worse than it did.”

Blanding mentioned in a past social media post that she weighed over 500lbs.

The rapper also revealed in December that she was intending to lose weight and had lost over 40lbs.

A Lyft spokesperson told The Sun: “Lyft unequivocally condemns all forms of discrimination—we believe in a community where everyone is treated with equal respect and mutual kindness. 

“Our community guidelines and terms of service explicitly prohibit harassment or discrimination.”

PATRICK Kielty’s wife Cat Deeley has caused a website crash after showing off her latest TV look on ITV.

The British host, who is renowned for her trend-setting style, has sent fans into a frenzy with her vibrant outfit on This Morning.

Cat took to Instagram before the show to post some snaps of herself posing backstage in the London studios.

The Birmingham beauty looked out of this world as she donned a bright shade of mustard yellow in the Drape-Neck Shell Top from Reiss.

The stylish €170 blouse had a softly draped neckline for an elegant touch, and slashed sides around the armholes.

It also buttoned at the nape of the neck and fell loose around the waist.

And it seems the 47-year-old caused some major mayhem with fans as they flocked to purchase the beautiful spring blouse.

According to Hello! Magazine, the Reiss website was down for a short period of time this afternoon with viewers desperate to get their hands on the top – and we can’t blame them.

Cat teamed the cute blouse with a pair of finely tailored ivory trousers from the brand Winser London.

The Cotton Twill Trousers currently retail for €156 on their website and in stores.

The TV star also added a pair of her favourite LK Bennett pointy pink stiletto heels.

Cat is known for her chunky jewellery but for this particular look she kept it simple with just a dainty gold bangle. 

She also wore her golden blond locks down and perfectly styled in loose curls.

Meanwhile, it was reported in December that Cat signed a bumper new deal to continue co-hosting ITV’s embattled show This Morning.

The Irish Sun understands Cat will be getting about £600,000 (€715,000) for another 12 months from March to the spring of 2026.

Her co-presenter, Ben, 50, has also agreed to extend his time on the This Morning sofa.

NEW DEELEY

However, Cat has told pals she does not want to be the next Holly Willoughby — who hosted it for 14 years — and will seek new challenges when the deal ends.

She and Ben joined in February following months of turmoil in the wake of Phillip Schofield’s messy departure last year.

However they have failed to halt a decline in ratings. A source said: “Cat was brought in alongside Ben to steady the ship and she’s done just that. Ratings have been tricky but the daily drama has finally ended.

“Cat signed a year-long deal with Ben last year and she’s agreed to another 12 months.

“But Cat has confided to friends she is growing tired of it and will be looking for a new challenge when this deal expires in 2026.

“Cat loves This Morning and their output. She also adores her co-hosts and the crew.

“But she has zero desire to follow in Holly’s footsteps and become a long-running This Morning legend.”

Blue Bloods showrunner Kevin Wade admitted that ending the beloved series was shocking, considering it left “a hole” in the CBS lineup. Wade appeared on CBS’ Book Club segment on Monday, January 27, to promote his new book, Johnny Careless, about a former NYPD detective who now works as Long Island’s police chief. The book,...
