While Netflix is celebrating a massive victory this week with record-breaking viewership for the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua clash—pulling in an estimated 33 million global viewers—the same cannot be said for its newest billion-dollar partner, WWE.

As the calendar turns to 2026, the wrestling giant finds itself in a state of "creative bankruptcy," entering the new year with virtually zero narrative momentum despite the prestige of the Netflix platform.

Reports suggest a desperate, last-minute scramble to inject life into the product by raiding the NXT developmental system.

High-profile stars like Trick Williams, Sol Ruca, and Je'von Evans, along with the viral sensation and recent signee Joe Hendry, are expected to be fast-tracked to the main roster to fill the void.

This "panic promotion" aims to rescue a product that many critics argue has been stuck in a creative purgatory since the transition from the "Rainbow Era."

​Meanwhile, the competitive landscape has shifted into a holding pattern. AEW appears content to play it safe, maintaining its solid grip on the number two spot in North America. With TNA and other mid-tier promotions currently unable to mount a serious challenge, Tony Khan’s promotion enters 2026 without the pressure of an immediate threat to its position.

This leaves WWE in a precarious spot: Netflix will likely have to work double-time to market a product whose "new car smell" has evaporated, leaving behind a roster in desperate need of a spark while its primary rival remains comfortable in its steady, albeit conservative, growth.
