Seth Rollins has claimed that WWE Raw moving to Netflix on January 6 is the “biggest step forward” in wrestling’s history.
With the upcoming episode of WWE Raw being called “WrestleMania-adjacent” by WWE Director of Character Development Rob Fee, Seth Rollins commented on the move in an appearance on Good Morning Football.
Speaking about the WWE Raw debut on Netflix, Rollins explained:
“It’s huge. You mentioned Liv [Morgan] and Rhea [Ripley], they’re gonna do it for the women’s title there, you’ve got John Cena. Lots of surprises. Tribal Combat, Roman Reigns versus Solo Sikoa. It’s going to be huge.
“This is without a doubt the biggest step forward in the history of our industry. That’s not an understatement.
“We’ve off cable for the first time in 30 years, going to streaming, the biggest streaming network on the planet.
“It’s gonna be incredible. I’m really excited about this. This is the future of our industry. This is as big as it gets.”
Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley will face each other for the Judgment Day member’s WWE Women’s World Championship, although it was recently reported that the match may no longer be Last Woman Standing.
Ahead of the debut of WWE Raw on Netflix, Triple H hyped the move and promised “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”
Netflix released a hype reel of their own for WWE Raw which featured the first sign that Becky Lynch will be returning soon, as can be seen below this news story.
WWE Raw debuted on the USA Network on January 11, 1993, as a sixty-minute show increasing to two hours in February 1997.
2012 would see the show grow to three hours with it only returning to the two-hour format in October 2024 as the weeks ticked down on its USA Network contract.
The show will return to its three-hour runtime according to recent reports, with SmackDown also getting a boost to match its Monday night counterpart.
