WWE RAW is set to go off television for the first time with its move to Netflix next week. The red brand's show has aired every week for nearly 32 years.

The first episode of Monday Night RAW aired on January 11, 1993, on the USA Network, which has since been the home to the Stamford-based company's flagship show, barring a five-year period from 2000 to 2005. However, earlier this year, the global juggernaut announced that streaming giant Netflix would acquire the rights to the show from January 6, 2025.

Tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW will be the last on the USA Network before the move to Netflix. The show scheduled for the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, has sold out with over 15,000 tickets.

High-stakes matches set for tonight's episode of WWE RAW

WWE is looking to end 2024 and RAW's television run with an action-packed show tonight. The upcoming edition is set to feature several high-stakes matches.

The December 30 edition of the Monday Night Show will feature the semifinals of the Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament. While IYO SKY will face Lyra Valkyria in one of the matches, Dakota Kai and Zoey Stark will lock horns in the other to continue on their quest to become the first woman to win the title.

Elsewhere on the show, former stablemates Otis and Chad Gable will compete in a one-on-one contest for the first time. Last week, the Olympian defeated Alpha Academy's Akira Tozawa in a singles match. However, Gable refused to let go of the Ankle Lock even after the bell rang, leading to Otis entering the squared circle to make the save and setting up the contest for this week.

In another highly anticipated bout for the night, former World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest will team up with the World Tag Team Champions, The War Raiders, to face The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh) in a six-man tag team match.

In addition to these matches, Seth Rollins and CM Punk will also confront each other ahead of their upcoming clash on WWE RAW on January 6. It will be interesting to see what the bitter rivals say to each other.
