WWE is an American professional wrestling promotion based in Stamford, Connecticut in the United States owned by TKO. The company has been producing events in Mexico since the beginning of the 21st century.




History


In 2004, WWE made its first tour in Mexico with WWE RAW: Wrestlemania XX Revenge Tour at the Arena Monterrey in the city of the same name. The event, which was also the first house show of the Raw brand, took place on April 3 having as main event a match between Chris Benoit and Triple H, who were in a strong rivalry for the World Heavyweight Championship. After the great success of the Mexican fans, Raw returned in November of that same year.
On October 17, 2011, the Palacio de los Deportes would host a first live event for Raw. The event featured a tag team match between John Cena and Jim Ross against then WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio and Michael Cole. Attendance was 14,845. That same week on SmackDown brand, another event was held at the same venue, featuring a match between Sin Cara Azul and Sin Cara Negro; the attendance was 11,000.
WWE was scheduled to return to the country again in 2020, but the tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in March of that year. After a two-year hiatus, the promotion returned to Mexico with two events in October 2022, which were both a success.




Broadcast


WWE programs began airing in Mexico in the late 1990s. MVS TV was the first channel to acquire the broadcast rights, airing WWF/E Raw (is War) from 1999 and WWE SmackDown from 2005 until the cessation of broadcasts for both brands in 2008. However, Raw would return to airing in mid-2009 on the renamed channel 52MX, which at that time also aired WWE Experience and pay-per-view events.
Televisa and TV Azteca, the two giants of Mexican television, began airing both Raw (via Canal 5) at 10:00pm and SmackDown (via Azteca 7) at 9:00pm respectively starting in 2008. Between 2013 and 2014, WWE would stop airing on open television for national audiences, focusing on pay television.
Starting in January 2025, it was announced that Netflix will broadcast WWE's weekly shows in the country, in addition to premium events (previously called PPV) and documentaries, as part of the agreement between the company and the platform.
