WWE RAW's 32-year streak is about to come to an end. Netflix has sent a message minutes before this could happen.

The USA Network has been the home of Monday Night RAW for the better part of 32 years. Ever since the red brand made its debut, it has aired on the network. The only time that RAW has not aired on the platform was between 2000 and 2005 when it shifted to TNN which was later rebranded to Spike TV.

Earlier this year, the Stamford-based promotion announced that it would be ending its partnership with the USA Network and moving to Netflix in 2025. The January 6 episode of the red brand is set to be the premiere on the global streaming giant.

This means that tonight's episode of RAW will be the end of a massive streak as it will be the last episode to air on the USA Network. Minutes before the show could begin, Netflix took to social media to send the message below promoting next week's premiere:

"ONE WEEK UNTIL @WWE RAW IS LIVE ON NETFLIX."

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.
