WWE Raw aired on USA Network on January 11, 1993, which was the first ever Monday Night Raw. It remained on USA Network until September 2000. The show returned to USA Network in late 2005, and Raw has remained on USA Network since.
For the first time since late 2005, WWE Raw will have a new home.
Starting in 2025, WWE Raw will be on Netflix.
Below, we will go over the date Raw starts on Netflix, the time Raw will be on, and predictions and tell you what to expect for the first-ever Raw on Netflix.
WWE Raw On Netflix: Start Date & Time
After almost 20 years of WWE Raw being on USA Network, Raw will move to Netflix on January 6, 2025.
The start time remains the same. It will be on at 8 PM EST every Monday on Netflix. The show will run for three hours each Monday.
Predictions & What To Expect For The First WWE Raw On Netflix
On January 6, 2025, WWE Raw will move to Netflix and is shaping up to be a must-watch show. The event will take place from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
Wrestlers from both the Raw and SmackDown brand are set to appear for the first-ever Raw on Netflix.
The first ever Raw on Netflix will begin the start of John Cena’s farewell tour and he is set to appear at the event.
Another person set to be on the first Raw on Netflix is rapper Travis Scott, who will perform Raw’s new theme song.
Six matches have been confirmed for the first WWE Raw on Netflix.
- Roman Reigns vs Solo Sikoa: Tribal Combat for the Ula Fala and Recognition as Tribal Chief of the Anoaʻi family
- Liv Morgan (c) vs Rhea Ripley: Last Woman Standing match for the Women’s World Championship
- Drew McIntyre vs Jey Uso: singles match
- CM Punk vs Seth Rollins: singles match
- Rey Mysterio and a partner vs New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods): Tag Team match
- Lyra Valkyria vs Dakota Kai: singles match for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship
Predictions
While a lot has been confirmed for the big event, there will be many surprises.
One prediction is Rhea Ripley becomes the new Women’s World Champion.
Another prediction is the return of some athletes. Charlotte Flair has been rumored to be making a return very soon Alexa Bliss is another possible candidate to make her return. Both could be making their return for the Raw debut on Netflix, with Charlotte almost a certain lock.
One of the biggest question marks will be whether The Rock will be at the first Raw on Netflix. With Rock on the board of TKO and Netflix wanting all the star power on the first show, it would not be surprising to see “The Great One” return and continue his storyline with Cody Rhodes or The Bloodline.
John Cena will begin his farewell tour and is scheduled to appear throughout 2025. He has his eyes set on becoming a 17-time World Champion to break the record. Expect Cena to break the record at some point in 2025. This could begin at the Raw on Netflix debut as Cena may announce he is entering the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble.
Rey Mysterio’s partner is rumored to be Mexican Luchador Pentagon Jr. On November 30, it was reported that Pentagon’s contract with AEW expired, marking the end of his five-year run with the company. With Pentagon being a free agent, it is expected he will make his WWE debut on the first Raw on Netflix.
The first Raw on Netflix is expected to be historic.
