Massive update on WWE RAW ahead of Netflix premiere (Exclusive)

WWE RAW is set to premiere on Netflix this week. A major update has come to light a day before the historic show.

RAW has been WWE's flagship show for the past three decades, producing several iconic and memorable moments through the years. For the majority of its life, the red brand has been aired on the USA Network. However, last year, World Wrestling Entertainment announced that the show would move to Netflix starting January 6, 2025.

Hence, this will be one of the most important episodes of the red brand in its history. As a result, WWE has planned a massive show featuring the return of John Cena, the highly anticipated match between Seth Rollins and CM Punk, and the Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. A day before this massive show, another detail has come to light.

According to Sportskeeda Wrestling's Dr. Chris Featherstone, Netflix will offer an on-demand option for shows. Fans will also be able to rewind or fast-forward during the live shows, which will make things easier for people who have tuned in late.

Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
