Before Raw shifted over to Netflix in, Paul “Triple H” Levesque told Sports Illustrated’s SI Media Podcast that the company would be “flexible” with the run

WWE Raw’s Netflix debut did not disappoint as a live event spectacular, but its decision to book a one-off standalone show meant a missed opportunity to hook casual fans.

Raw. Is. Netflix. After a year of buildup, WWE's flagship weekly series "Monday Night Raw" streamed live on Netflix for the first time globally on Jan. 6, kicking off with a "WrestleMania"-level spectacle.

WWE's flagship show makes a historic Netflix debut with star-studded appearances, a solid card, and production growing pains in a streaming era milestone.

In a stunning twist, Raw will also see the return of The Undertaker. PWInsider Elite reports that the legendary figure has been spotted in Los Angeles, just ahead of the show in nearby Inglewood. The Undertaker is reportedly slated to make a special return, with plans for his iconic "American Badass" entrance on a motorcycle.

WWE RAW is listed as the top television show in the United States on Netflix. WWE RAW premiered on Netflix on January 6th; the company delivered a star-studded show from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

From the celebrities in the audience to music star Travis Scott accompanying WWE Superstar Jey Uso to the ring, Monday’s production felt more like a premium live event (PLE). It felt designed to appeal to a wider audience than typical pro wrestling fans — and the new distribution channel on Netflix was clearly intended to take advantage of the platform’s worldwide reach.

The biggest show in professional wrestling is stepping into the ring with Netflix. The streaming giant is expecting a massive night with the show's debut.
