The Wrestling Fan’s Guide to Watching Events Online in 2025

Professional wrestling has evolved far beyond the days of tuning into weekly shows on cable TV or attending pay-per-view (PPV) events in person. In 2025, watching wrestling online is not only more accessible but also more immersive than ever before. Whether you’re a hardcore fan or just getting into the WatchWrestling world of suplexes and storylines, here’s your comprehensive guide to enjoying wrestling events online in 2025.

1. Streaming Platforms: Where to Watch Wrestling in 2025

One of the biggest shifts in recent years is the migration of wrestling content to digital platforms. Most major wrestling promotions now offer their own streaming services, complete with live events, on-demand replays, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content.

• WWE Network on Peacock (U.S.) / WWE Network International: WWE continues to dominate the global wrestling scene. In the U.S., WWE content is hosted on Peacock, while international viewers can access it via the WWE Network app or website. Expect live premium events, Raw and SmackDown replays, NXT, and a massive archive of wrestling history.

• AEW Plus on TrillerTV (formerly FITE): AEW Watch Wrestling (All Elite Wrestling) remains a fan-favorite for those seeking a more sports-oriented product. AEW Plus offers live streams of Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, and special events, with full access internationally.

• New Japan World: For fans of Japanese wrestling (Puroresu), NJPW World remains the go-to platform. It features monthly events, including the iconic Wrestle Kingdom, and English commentary for international viewers.

• HonorClub (ROH), Impact Wrestling on TrillerTV, GCW on IndependentWrestling.tv, and MLW on YouTube/Fusion TV: These are excellent options for those wanting to dive deeper into the indie scene or alternative styles of storytelling and match styles.

2. Subscription vs. Pay-Per-View: Know What You’re Paying For

Many services follow a hybrid model:

• Subscription-Based Access: WWE Network, HonorClub, and NJPW World operate on monthly subscriptions, typically ranging from $5 to $10 USD, offering unlimited access to their content libraries and live shows.

• Pay-Per-View (PPV): AEW and Impact Wrestling often use the PPV model for their biggest shows (e.g., Double or Nothing, Bound for Glory). These events are usually priced between $20 and $50 and may be available through platforms like TrillerTV or traditional cable PPV.

Some promotions are experimenting with tiered memberships, offering premium experiences such as early access, ad-free viewing, and exclusive interviews or training content.

3. The Rise of VR and Immersive Viewing

2025 has brought new levels of immersion to online wrestling. Major promotions, including WWE and AEW, have begun experimenting with VR broadcasts of their major events. Using compatible headsets (like Meta Quest 4 or Apple Vision Pro), fans can "sit ringside" from their living rooms.

Some platforms also offer multi-angle viewing, allowing fans to switch camera perspectives mid-match — a great feature for catching those high-flying moves or dramatic stare-downs up close.
