"Netflix Secures Exclusive Rights to Stream WWE's 'Raw' in Major Live Entertainment Deal"

Netflix has struck a 10-year deal valued at over $5 billion to stream WWE's Raw starting next year, marking its biggest move into live sports. The streaming platform will have exclusive rights to Raw in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Latin America, and will also become the home for all WWE shows and specials outside the U.S. This deal represents a significant historical shift for Netflix, which has made few attempts at live programming in the past, and will allow the platform to tap into WWE intellectual property for potential documentary-type series, movies, or series around WWE characters.

"Unraveling the Connection Between 'Funflation' and Taylor Swift"

"Funflation" refers to a current trend where consumers continue to spend money on "fun" experiences despite inflation, rather than cutting back on overall spending. This behavior is seen in the booming live entertainment industry, particularly in the stadium tours of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, which have generated billions of dollars in consumer spending. However, not all industries are benefiting from this trend, as Best Buy CEO Corie Barry blamed "funflation" and Taylor Swift for lagging sales of electronics. Economists expect a slowdown in GDP growth after the summer spending spree, but the probabilities of a recession have decreased.

Ringling Bros. Circus Revamped: Animals No Longer Part of the Show

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus is returning for a 2023 North American tour, but without animals. The show has been reimagined as a high-octane family event with highwire tricks, trapeze artists, and bicycles leaping on trampolines.
