4 unadvertised stars who could return for the WWE RAW premiere on Netflix

WWE has undergone many changes in 2024. Friday Night SmackDown has moved from the FOX Network to the USA Network, which will be the blue brand's home for five years. Additionally, NXT has moved from the USA Network to The CW.

While those moves are big for World Wrestling Entertainment, the start of 2025 will feature an even more monumental shift. Monday Night RAW, which has been a cable staple for over 30 years, will be moving to Netflix. Reportedly, the company is very excited about the upcoming move.

So far, some big names have been confirmed to appear on the Monday Night RAW premiere. In addition to the stars of the red brand, SmackDown's Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Bianca Belair are being promoted for the RAW on Netflix debut.

Notably, John Cena is also making his return on the show. This could mean that other unadvertised returns are possible as well. This article will take a look at a handful of names who could make a big comeback on RAW's Netflix debut.

Below are four unadvertised stars who could return for the WWE RAW premiere on Netflix.

#4. Alexa Bliss has implied she's ready for a WWE return

Alexa Bliss is an extremely successful performer. While she never held gold on NXT and primarily served as a manager, Alexa went on to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles, RAW Women's Championship, and SmackDown Women's Title on the main roster.

The Goddess has been absent from WWE television for a long time. Her last match took place nearly two years ago when she challenged and ultimately lost to the then RAW Women's Champion Bianca Belair. From there, she took a maternity leave.

Bliss recently revealed that her return isn't up to her and then further detailed numerous health complications that kept her out of action. Alexa did go on to note that her health is doing well now, which means a return could be on the horizon. Bliss returning on the first RAW of 2025, perhaps with The Wyatt Sicks, would make for a big moment.

#3. Big E could try to fix the issues within The New Day

Big E is another extremely successful performer. He is part of The New Day and held numerous Tag Team Titles throughout his career. He also won the Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Title.

Just like Alexa, Big E has been away from WWE programming for a long time. In 2022, he suffered what could be a career-ending neck injury after taking a suplex on the floor and landing on his head, neck, and shoulders.

His New Day stablemates Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have had constant tension over the past few months and some fear a breakup is coming. Big E could return on the Netflix debut and confront his friends, making them bury the hatchet and reminding the duo of better times. Who knows, he could even shockingly reveal that he's been medically cleared to compete.

#2. Becky Lynch will make an immediate splash whenever she returns

Becky Lynch is one of the greatest female performers in WWE history. She has won numerous World Titles, had record-setting or history-making championship reigns, and has even won gold in the main event of WrestleMania.

While Alexa and Big E have been away from WWE for a few years each, The Man has only been absent for months. She was Women's World Champion earlier this year and lost the title to Liv Morgan before taking a break from the ring.

In a recent update, however, Big Time Becks made it clear that she isn't done. The Man noted that Dominik Mysterio slamming a cage into her face wouldn't be the end of her story. Could that mean Becky will be back in time for the January 6th, edition of RAW?

#1. Goldberg will have his last match in 2025

Goldberg is an icon in the world of pro wrestling. He had an infamous undefeated streak in WCW where he won the United States Title and WCW World Heavyweight Title. In WWE, he won the World Heavyweight Championship and the Universal Title.

Da Man recently appeared at WWE Bad Blood where he teased an altercation with Gunther. From there, Goldberg later announced that he would have his retirement at some point in 2025, although no official date was confirmed.

Goldberg could appear again, this time on the January 6th edition of RAW on Netflix. It could be there that he reveals when his last-ever match will take place, perhaps nailing Gunther with a vicious Spear in the process.
