January 5th 2025.
The long-awaited moment has finally arrived – WWE is making its debut on Netflix with the first live episode of Monday Night Raw. After months of anticipation and the recent launch of a plethora of content on the streaming service, the world-renowned professional wrestling powerhouse is bringing its flagship weekly show to the platform.
According to insiders, the show is expected to have a WrestleMania-like atmosphere, with the likes of John Cena and Cody Rhodes already confirmed to make appearances. The card for the show is stacked, featuring high-stakes championship bouts and grudge matches that promise to deliver an exhilarating experience in this new era of WWE on Netflix.
Rumours have been circulating that fan favourites such as Pentagon Jr, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, and Becky Lynch may also make surprise appearances, adding to the excitement as WWE builds towards the first Royal Rumble and Road to WrestleMania on Netflix. Here's everything you need to know about the highly-anticipated show.
When can you catch WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix? The weekly three-hour show will air at 1am tomorrow night for fans in the UK, and will continue to be broadcasted at the same time every week.
How can you watch WWE Raw on Netflix? For the first time ever, fans can tune into WWE Monday Night Raw live or on demand as part of their Netflix subscription. While these big shows were previously only available on the WWE Network or TNT Sports Box Office, the new deal with Netflix has changed the game. Simply go to Netflix, and you will most likely find the show on your home page. If not, a quick search for WWE will do the trick.
What's on the full match card for the debut of WWE Raw on Netflix? The lineup for the show includes exciting matches such as Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, a Women's World Title match between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley, and a highly-anticipated match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins. As an added bonus, John Cena will be kicking off his 2025 Farewell Tour, and Travis Scott will be making an appearance as well.
What can fans expect from the show? With the already confirmed appearances of John Cena and possibly Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, fans are eagerly anticipating some big surprises for the Netflix debut. It's been reported that The Rock may start a WrestleMania rivalry with either Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes, especially since he will already be in Los Angeles this weekend for the Golden Globes. Logan Paul will also be making a return after announcing his move to Raw, and there are speculations that Becky Lynch, whose contract expired last summer, may also make a comeback for the Netflix debut.
Fans are also hoping that CM Punk's wife, AJ Lee, will make an appearance if Becky Lynch shows up, as Punk will be facing Becky's husband, Seth Rollins, in a match on the show.
The debut of WWE Raw on Netflix also marks the first appearance of Penta El Zero Miedo, also known as Pentagon Jr., who recently left rival promotion All Elite Wrestling and is expected to make his debut on Monday night. While his tag team partner, Rey Fenix, remains with AEW, it has been reported that his contract has been extended due to an injury.
When will we see WWE SmackDown and NXT on Netflix? After both shows aired on YouTube this week, they will be coming to Netflix soon. NXT's New Years Evil will air live on Netflix at 1am on Tuesday night, followed by SmackDown on Friday. All three weekly shows will then air on Netflix.
What other WWE shows are available on Netflix? As of January 1st, WWE has an extensive library of content on Netflix, including historic pay-per-view events such as WrestleMania and Royal Rumble, and even smaller events like Rebellion. All NXT TakeOvers and select episodes of Raw and SmackDown are also available, with more content expected to be added in the future.
