WWE Netflix will be the prime conversation in the wrestling world at the start of 2025. The flagship show of WWE, Monday Night RAW, will move to the streaming giant with a spectacular debut show, taking place on January 6 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
After signing a staggering $5 billion deal with them last year, WWE Netflix aims to reach a wider audience with its product. Moreover, according to recent reports, the company has planned to add major star power to the debut show. Here are four possible matches that can happen at the dawn of the WWE Netflix era:
4. The Rhea Ripley Liv Morgan saga can end at the start of the WWE Netflix era
One of the most heated and prolific feuds of 2024 was between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan over the WWE Women’s World Championship. From Liv Morgan stealing everything Ripley held dear to her heart to Mami’s failed quests to regain the title, this was a bonafide rivalry for the ages.
At the start of the WWE Netflix era, the fans can possibly witness the conclusion of this heated rivalry with a final encounter between Ripley and Morgan. A classic last-time showdown for the Women’s World title could prove monumental for the debut RAW edition of WWE Netflix.
3. First-ever Women’s Intercontinental Champion
RAW General Manager Adam Pearce announced the creation of the WWE Women’s Intercontinental title a few weeks ago. A tournament is currently taking place with no clear timeline for the coronation of the inaugural champion, unlike the WWE Women’s US title, which will crown the first-ever title holder at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
WWE Netflix era could gain a huge start with the finals of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament taking place at their debut show. The inaugural champion crowned at a historic event would prove to be a highly strategic move for the global juggernaut.
2. Who is the real Tribal Chief?
Ever since Roman Reigns returned to WWE at SummerSlam, the feud between himself and the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa has been on full display. The duo have collided with multiple teams in multi-man matches but are yet to face each other in a one-on-one showdown.
With Monday Night RAW’s debut on Netflix rapidly approaching, it could be the perfect stage for the clash between Reigns and Sikoa. The match would be for the prestigious Ula-Fala, and the winner would be crowned The ‘One True Tribal Chief.’ The match was made official on the December 13 edition of SmackDown.
1. CM Punk & Seth Rollins Dream Showdown
The heated tensions between CM Punk and Seth Rollins have been well-documented for years. Moreover, the duo were set to collide in the main event of WrestleMania 40 last year before Punk went down with a triceps injury. However, WWE has re-ignited its feud in recent weeks on RAW, with a report suggesting that the long-awaited clash could happen at WWE RAW’s debut on Netflix.
If the reports are indeed true, this would be one of the biggest marquee matches on the card for RAW’s debut on Netflix. The years of animosity, their immense star power and history would set the stage for one of the biggest in-ring showdowns of all time.
