In pop culture, legends come and go, but iconic moments stay forever. What happens when the greatest living WWE stars collide? An explosive burst of excitement surged throughout the digital space. It is indeed a great year for wrestling enthusiasts who are also chronic bingers, as Netflix has got them covered with its occasional fuel to ignite mass nostalgia. Unleashing a single throwback clip of WrestleMania XL moments featuring WWE giants, Netflix has turned up the excitement for the upcoming WrestleMania 42 event.

The streaming titan once again has reminded viewers that when The Rock and John Cena perform, WWE adds another feather to its cap.

A new highlight video on X from Netflix Sports showcases the best moments of WrestleMania XL. It features legendary WWE performers in the chaotic tag team, which includes The Rock and John Cena alongside Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Seth Rollins. The social media video returns viewers to the WrestleMania XL showcase, which represents one of the most chaotic and unforgettable nights in modern WWE history.

The Philadelphia-based WrestleMania XL event, which took place in April 2024, spanned two nights and became one of the largest WWE events in history. The main event of the show featured major storylines, including The Bloodline, studded with high spots, intense brawls, and dramatic in-ring confrontations. It broke all records with 145,298 fans from 64 countries in attendance at Lincoln Financial Field over the course of two nights.

The Rock and John Cena faced off against each other at WrestleMania XL, which became the event's most popular attraction. Capturing the two wrestlers making their grand entrance to close their rivalry with a smack in nearly five minutes, the Netflix highlight clip offered peak cinema, as fans deemed WrestleMania 40 perfection. Meanwhile, on April 9, 2024, WWE had announced that WrestleMania XL became their most-successful and highest-grossing event in the history of their company.

The wrestling content of Netflix has expanded through its partnership with WWE, which supports the platform's goal to develop its sports and entertainment offerings. This throwback clip aligns with the streamer's multi-year exclusive deal to stream WWE Raw live worldwide since January 2025. Netflix continues to serve nostalgia content for WWE fans, introduces the events to new viewers, and creates a reservoir of such legendary moments in wrestling history, with a promise of more to come.

Everything New and Old on Netflix as WWE Enters Second Year on Streaming in 2026

While WrestleMania XL highlights have been the most spectacular show in WWE, Netflix has a strong lineup to look forward to.

Netflix extends its WWE partnership in 2026 by broadcasting Monday Night Raw, SmackDown, and NXT shows through its platform in various countries. The weekly live wrestling shows serve as the main component of WWE content on Netflix, which includes ongoing storylines, championship battles, and major celebrity wrestler appearances throughout the entire year.

In April, the streamer will present NXT Stand & Deliver on April 4, 2026, and WrestleMania 42 from April 18 to 19, 2026. It will also include special episodes of Raw after WrestleMania. However, the most important event of the year, WrestleMania 42, which will be broadcast live on Netflix for viewers worldwide, remains the key highlight of this month.
