Netflix subscribers have been issued with a major warning ahead of John Cena's appearance at WWE's Crown Jewel event.

Cena will continue his retirement tour on Saturday, as the Crown Jewel event travels outside Saudi Arabia for the first time, with the event taking place in Perth, Australia.

Saturday's card will see Cena take on AJ Styles in what is expected to be their final ever match-up, after Styles confirmed that he plans to retire from wrestling in 2026.

It will mark the final chapter in one of WWE's most exciting rivalries.

There are plenty of other big names set to feature, including Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins and Roman Reign.

The Crown Jewel event will also see the world champion in both their men's and women's divisions compete.

Rhodes will come up against his long-time rival Rollins, while Stephanie Vaquer will look to defend her title against Tiffany Stratton.

For fans in the UK, the event will be streamed live on Netflix, with 17.6 million currently subscribed to the platform. However, those planning to tune in for Cena's latest fight could be breaking the law without realising.

To stream any live broadcast, even those shown through Netflix, viewers in the UK are legally required to have a valid TV licence.

Failing to do so can lead to serious penalties.

Anyone found watching without a license can be taken to a magistrates court and fined up to £1,000.

The BBC has confirmed that this only applies to live-streamed content and not to on demand programmes.

Daniel McAfee, Head of Legal Operations at Lawhive, said: "Under UK law, any live television broadcast requires a valid TV licence, regardless of the streaming platform.

“We have a duty to enforce the law when there is evidence that someone has avoided paying for a TV Licence."

A standard TV licence currently costs £174.50 for a year and can be bought as a single purchase or as instalments through a direct debit.

There are different licences for hospitality businesses, and anyone living in either a care home or sheltered accommodation may be eligible for a discounted fee.

If viewers choose to watch in black and white, then a license is only £58.50, while those registered blind only have to pay £87.25.

While WWE's Crown Jewel event is set to receive global attention, British fans are urged to check they have a valid TV license.

Failing to do so could leave fans with a significant fine.
