So, you're looking for Rampage. The thing is, depending on who you ask, that word means two completely different things in the world of entertainment. You might be hunting for the 2018 blockbuster where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hangs out with a giant albino gorilla named George. Or, maybe you’re a wrestling fan trying to figure out how to catch the high-octane Friday night chaos of AEW: Rampage.
Whatever you're looking for, I've got you. Finding where to watch Rampage shouldn't feel like a chore, but with the way streaming rights shift around like tectonic plates, it often is.
Tracking Down the 2018 Rampage Movie
If you want to see buildings getting leveled by a massive wolf, a giant crocodile, and that lovable gorilla, you’re looking for the Brad Peyton-directed flick. This movie is pure popcorn fodder. It’s based on the classic 80s arcade game, and honestly, it’s a lot more fun than it has any right to be.
Right now, the most reliable place to find the Rampage movie is Max (formerly HBO Max). Since it’s a Warner Bros. production, Max is its natural home. You can usually fire it up there without paying extra fees beyond your subscription. If you don't have Max, you're looking at the digital rental market.
Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play all have it. You’ll pay about $3.99 for a standard rental. If you’re a physical media nerd like me, you can still snag the 4K Blu-ray, which is actually the best way to see the CGI detail on Ralph (the wolf) anyway.

It’s worth noting that streaming libraries change. One month it’s on Hulu, the next it’s gone. If you check Max and it’s missing, it likely hopped over to a platform like TNT or TBS's digital app because of existing cable licensing deals.
How to Watch AEW: Rampage Every Week
Now, if you’re a wrestling fan, "what can I watch Rampage on" is a weekly question. AEW: Rampage is the secondary show for All Elite Wrestling, usually airing on Friday nights. It’s faster, shorter (only an hour), and often features some of the most technical wrestling on the roster.
In the United States, TNT is the home of Rampage. It usually airs at 10:00 PM ET, right after the local news. But here’s the kicker: wrestling fans know the "death slot" schedule is unpredictable. Sometimes sports preempt it, and it moves to a Saturday or an earlier time slot.
If you've cut the cord, you need a live TV streaming service.

- Sling TV is usually the cheapest way to get TNT. The Sling Blue package is the one you want.
- Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV also carry TNT, though they're more expensive.
- The TNT App: If you have a cable login (or your parents’ login, no judgment here), you can stream it live or on-demand there.
Watching Rampage Outside the US
International fans actually have it a bit better sometimes. If you’re in the UK, Canada, or Australia, you probably use FITE TV (now rebranded as TrillerTV). The "AEW Plus" subscription is a godsend. It lets you watch Rampage live with no commercial breaks—meaning you see the "picture-in-picture" action in full screen while US viewers are watching commercials for insurance.
In Canada, TSN handles the broadcast. Usually, it's on one of their secondary channels like TSN2, but it’s also available via the TSN+ streaming service.
The Confusion with the Rampage Documentary
There is a third option that sometimes trips people up. There’s a documentary called Rampage from 2006 that focuses on the hip-hop scene and street life. It’s gritty. It’s definitely not the Rock movie. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll mostly find it on niche platforms like Tubi or Freevee where older docs go to live.
Why Availability Keeps Changing
Streaming is a mess. That’s the reality. Warner Bros. Discovery owns both the 2018 movie and the network that airs AEW. You’d think they’d just put everything in one spot forever, but they don't. They "sub-license" content to make extra cash.

For instance, Rampage (the movie) might show up on Netflix for six months because Netflix paid a premium for the rights. Always check a dedicated search engine like JustWatch if a title isn't where it "should" be.
Making Sure You Catch the Right Show
If you are trying to watch the wrestling show, don't forget the DVR. Because Rampage airs late on Friday nights, many fans just record it and watch it Saturday morning while having coffee. If you’re using YouTube TV, just "add to library," and it captures every episode automatically regardless of time shifts.
For the movie, if you’re a traveler, remember that Netflix often has different movies in different countries. If you're in the UK or Canada, the Rock’s Rampage might be on Netflix right now even if it isn't in the States.
Actionable Next Steps for You:
- Check Max First: If you want the movie, start there. It’s the highest quality stream available without a per-view fee.
- Download the TNT App: If you're a wrestling fan with any kind of cable or satellite package, this is the easiest way to watch on your phone or tablet.
- Use a Search Aggregator: Before you spend $4 to rent the movie on Amazon, use a site like JustWatch to see if it’s currently "free" on a service you already pay for.
- Check the AEW Socials: If you’re looking for the wrestling show on a Friday, check AEW’s Twitter (X) account around 6 PM. They’ll announce if the show has been bumped to a different time due to basketball or hockey.
