The Netflix debut of WWE RAW is scheduled for January 6, 2025. The show has created significant buzz for obvious reasons, but also because John Cena's Farwell Tour will likely commence there.

World Wrestling Entertainment is reportedly very pleased with its partnership with TKO Group Holdings, Inc., which acquired the Stamford-based promotion on September 12, 2023, following a $21 billion merger with Endeavor, the parent company of TKO. It appears more TV deals are in place for the sports entertainment giant.

Sportskeeda Wrestling's Dr. Chris Featherstone posted an exclusive report on X (fka Twitter) regarding these television deals. A&E, Tubi, and YouTube are reportedly buying shows that will feature the promotion's in-ring content.

"BREAKING: A&E, Tubi, and YouTube are all buying shows that will feature WWE in-ring content to be produced and aired, starting in 2025. WWE is very pleased with their partnership with TKO, as the "brand is exploding" with the new owners and more TV deals are being finalized. (EXCLUSIVE)," reported Featherstone.

It is highly likely the company will stack up the first show of 2025 as they usually do. But with the Netflix debut, one can expect the stakes raised to a whole other level. Recently, Dwayne Johnson claimed that the fans can expect "fireworks" ahead of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, scheduled for April over Easter weekend.


Tiffany Stratton eyes WWE RAW debut on Netflix for Money in the Bank cash in

The Money in the Bank debuted in 2005 and has since been a mainstay on WWE programming. Perhaps Triple H & Co. will book a cash in on January 6, 2025?

While speaking on Gorilla Position recently, The Buff Barbie was asked whom she wished to face on that particular show. Since winning the briefcase in July, she has teased cashing in the contract on Nia Jax and Liv Morgan. Without giving away too much, Stratton revealed that a cash in is definitely being considered for RAW's Netflix debut.

"I don't know, maybe I'll cash in there. Maybe I won't have a match. Maybe I'll just cash in and become the champion on the premiere," she said.

Tiffany Stratton also added that she might just steal Dominik Mysterio from Women's World Champion Liv Morgan after taking away the latter's title, also claiming that she does see the appeal in him.
