Netflix Premiere Planned To Be One Of The Biggest Episodes In WWE Raw History

WWE have major plans for Raw's premiere on Netflix that will take place on January 6, 2025.

Fightful Select reported that the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California is currently planned to be the location of the first Raw on Netflix.

That won't be all, though, and a longtime WWE employee told Sean Ross Sapp that: "The show is likely to be one of the biggest episodes of Raw in history, from the standpoint of buzz."

Early plans for the Raw premiere will see the episode be a pay-per-view/premium live event-calibre show and SmackDown talents are expected to be involved.

Internally, WWE believes the Netflix deal will lead to their next leap in popularity.

Monday Night Raw will be the only WWE show airing on Netflix in the United States but the deal is far more expansive for international fans. In the United Kingdom, Raw, SmackDown, NXT, WWE PLEs and the WWE library will be available on Netflix from 2025.

If Raw will be three hours on Netflix remains up in the air, though, with WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H revealing following Bad Blood that the length of Raw is still being worked out.
