Until March 2025. Indian market is different. They sell content for smaller market in wholesale. This is why Raw, SmackDown, NXT and Pay Per Views are on one network.

As far as i remember reading India has the second largest viewer base of WWE so it is not a small market....in India Sports Rights acquisition prices particularly for non cricket cannot be compared with International Markets, here there would hardly any takers if any broadcaster or OTT platform provides each WWE event under different plans or has smaller to high priced plans covering these events hence deals r reached as a bundle keeping in mind return of investment possible via subscription plus ad revenue as in India volume of subscribers / viewership is extremely important as it helps drive up both revenue streams....in International Markets subscription revenue is extremely high while ads play a small role for a broadcaster or platform to earn revenue barring some regular content which shall be available in FTA mode with ads or licence fee paid by people helping absorb content / operational costs

PL deal is 8.4 billion dollars for 4 years though it is not appropriate to compare with wrestling.It may include using WWE stars for Netflix movies.

Nope, only television deal. The parent company TKO owns UFC too. This could be gateway for UFC to come to Netflix which is much bigger than WWE.
