WWE has made a good start to 2025, as the latest episode of SmackDown received rave reviews from fans and critics alike. This is an important month for the company as its apex show, WWE RAW, will be debuting on Netflix on January 6.
Hence, the company will look to keep its best foot forward on a new platform. The company has already kicked off its build towards Royal Rumble 2025, and fans could witness several twists and turns on the road to the Rumble.
In this piece, we will discuss four such twists that could happen in the company this month:
#4. Goldberg could return to WWE to challenge Gunther
Trending
Goldberg got involved in a heated confrontation with Gunther at Bad Blood 2024. There have been speculations of a potential bout between the duo since then. While nothing has come of it yet, things may change this month.
The creative team could have Goldberg return to challenge Gunther for a title match. The duo could lock horns for the World Heavyweight Championship in a dream clash at Royal Rumble 2025.
#3. Liv Morgan could betray Dominik
Liv Morgan will defend her Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley on RAW's Netflix debut. As has been the case on several occasions in the past, Liv's on-screen partner, Dominik Mysterio could interfere in the match.
However, Rhea Ripley could be prepared for a situation like that. Mami could thwart Dom's plans before getting her hands on him. If that is indeed the case, "Dirty" Dom's close friend, Logan Paul, who is also scheduled to appear on the same show, could make the save.
Logan could help Dom and Liv, leading to his induction into The Judgment Day, where he could grow closer to Liv Morgan in the following days. Given Morgan's how Revenge Tour is already been completed, she arguably doesn't need Dominik anymore. Hence, he could betray her on-screen partner for a new Papi, Logan Paul.
#2. The Rock could return to cost Roman Reigns a potential win on WWE RAW's Netflix debut
Roman Reigns will face Solo Sikoa in Tribal Combat on RAW's debut on Netflix. However, the Original Tribal Chief may succumb to a loss due to The Rock's interference.
The Final Boss is rumored to return on the upcoming episode of WWE RAW. Given that, the likelihood of The Rock making his presence felt during the Tribal Combat bout seems high. The High Chief could betray Reigns to cost him a win, before taking over the leash of The New Bloodline.
This potential angle could lead to a massive feud. More on this in the next point.
#1. Seth Rollins could be Roman Reigns' 'Shield' in WWE
If The Rock does return to cost Roman Reigns a win on WWE RAW, this potential angle could lead to a massive Shield reunion. While a complete reunion isn't possible, given Jon Moxley, aka Dean Ambrose, is AEW bound, fans could witness a partial Shield reunion.
Given his history and disdain for The Final Boss, Seth Rollins could put aside his differences with Roman Reigns to reunite with him. The Visionary could mend fences with the OTC to fight the common enemy, The Rock and his Bloodline.
Rollins could be Roman Reigns' 'Shield' in this potential feud, protecting him against the five-membered (The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and The Tongan Brothers) stable.
