After days of buildup and exciting updates, WWE is finally set to make its debut in the digital world with its red brand RAW's pilot episode scheduled to air on OTT giant Netflix on Monday, January 6. There are plenty of thrilling matches scheduled for Monday to make it memorable as the first feature on the digital platform. Superstars like Roman Reigns, reigning Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, his friend-turned-rival Kevin Owens, Rhea Ripley, and Liv Morgan are some of the names who will be headlining the show.
In addition to the aforementioned familiar faces, legends like John Cena and The Rock will also make appearances on the upcoming Monday Night Raw. While the schedule has already been revealed, fans can expect several surprises, as many superstars are set to return and disrupt the matches, adding more excitement. One of the key moments to look out for is John Cena being attacked by a former two-time NXT Champion.
Things to expect from WWE Raw's Netflix debut
Cena under attack
Cena will be starting his final days with the wrestling promotion, as he has already announced his retirement from the company last year during the Money in The Bank. For Monday's match, the 47-year-old legend is anticipated to be challenged by the reigning Intercontinental Champion, Bron Breakker. Breakker has already expressed his wish to face Cena and be the one to retire the Hollywood icon.
Becky Lynch to return
"The Man" Becky Lynch is also expected to make a return to WWE before his contract expires with the promotion, and she leaves or stays for further opportunities. She is speculated to interfere in the Women's World Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, and the odds are really high that she will be targeting Morgan, who previously stated that she retired her.
Paul Heyman betraying Roman Reigns
Yes, you read that right. Heyman is expected to betray his "Tribal Chief," Reigns, who takes on his cousin Solo Sikoa in a bid to settle the Bloodline's original Tribal Chief debate. But here is the twist: even if Reigns wins against Sikoa, Heyman is rumored to not be putting the prestigious Ula Fala around Reigns' neck and is subsequently expected to hand it over to The Rock.
