WWE International Superstars Axiom, Isla Dawn, Stephanie Vaquer Prepare for Global Stage as Netflix Kicks Off New Era of Professional Wrestling
International WWE stars Axiom, Isla Dawn and Stephanie Vaquer discuss the company's Netflix deal, officially launching with tonight's "Raw."
The crime drama was doing decent but not great numbers on terrestrial TV in Spain before Netflix acquired it, marketed it as an original and turned it into a global phenomenon and one of its best-performing non-English language shows of all time. In 2024, some of the highest-rated and best-received PLEs took place abroad – Backlash in Lyon, France; Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia; and the aforementioned Clash at the Castle – and with the company trending in that direction, its international stars are excited about the prospect of performing in front of home crowds. Starting in March, WWE will launch its Road to WrestleMania series of shows in Europe and host an episode of “SmackDown” in Barcelona, where Spanish fans will certainly be hoping Axiom makes an appearance.
