The era of WWE Netflix is upon the hardcore fanbase of professional wrestling. It will see the longest-running weekly episodic show in television history, Monday Night RAW, move to Netflix. The debut show will take place on January 6, 2025, from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, officially ushering WWE Netflix into the world of wrestling.
With a star-studded line-up of WWE superstars expected, a major addition could see The Rock returning to the company for the spectacle. The Final Boss is set to appear on the WWE Netflix show for Monday Night RAW as per WrestleVotes on Backstage Pass Q&A, which has left fans wondering about his involvement. Here are the three possible bookings for The Rock if he makes his monumental return at RAW’s debut episode on Netflix:
3. The Rock Officially Takes Over WWE Netflix Regime
The Rock is not only one of the biggest celebrities on the face of the earth today but also has an important role in the current WWE regime. The Great One joined as a member of the Board of Directors of TKO Group Holdings, which is the parent company of WWE, which led to him coining the new nickname, ‘The Final Boss.’
With WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque currently handling the reins of the company, The Rock could return on RAW’s debut episode as part of the WWE Netflix era to announce an official takeover from The Game. This could lead to a power struggle battle between the two iconic rivals as WWE begins a new year.
2. The Final Mastermind
Following his hiatus after WrestleMania XL, The Rock made a shocking return at the end of the WWE Bad Blood Premium Live Event. Many fans missed Solo Sikoa’s reaction to his comeback in a video on social media, where he mentioned to a fan that “it’s all part of the plan.” While the situation remained unclear regarding his comeback and Solo’s words, the big reveal could come on RAW’s debut on Netflix.
With Solo Sikoa and his arch enemy, The OTC Roman Reigns, set to collide in a Tribal Combat match at WWE RAW’s debut episode on Netflix, the closing of the bout could see the revelation of the ultimate plan. The Rock could come out and reveal himself as the mastermind of the new Bloodline, having commanded Solo to form the faction following Roman Reigns’ failure at WrestleMania XL. This could set the tone for the highly anticipated dream match between The Rock and Roman Reigns, which could possibly take place at WrestleMania 41.
1. Begin feud with Cody Rhodes
On the RAW after WrestleMania XL, The Rock had an intense face-to-face confrontation with his heated rival, Cody Rhodes, who dethroned Roman Reigns the night prior to win the Undisputed Championship. Before leaving for his hiatus, The Final Boss made it clear that when he returned, Rhodes would be his prime target, regardless of whether he was the champion or not.
So, if The Rock does make his monumental return at the dawn of the WWE Netflix era, he could very well go after Cody Rhodes, who has proven himself to be a remarkable champion since winning the title. This could be the start of their singles feud which could culminate at WrestleMania 41 with a blockbuster match between The Rock and Cody Rhodes for the World Championship.
