Let's Talk About | WWE RAW on NETFLIX


History was made as WWE RAW was broadcast LIVE on NETFLIX for the very first time, from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood California, there was a lot going on, so Let's Talk About the show. 

We saw a montage of wrestling stories throughout the years, narrated by The Game, Triple H, who was standing in the ring to speak to the thousands in attendance to welcome everyone to The NETFLIX Era. 

The new stage and arena set up was a nice visual. 

The in-ring promos continued with The Final Boss, The People's Champion, The Rock. During that time he acknowledged Cody, who was standing in the crowd and his cousin Roman, prior to The OTC's Tribal Combat Match against Solo.

The match itself started off at a decent pace, it picked up when Tonga Loa appeared, which led to chaos and run-ins from members of the OG and New Bloodline, similar shenanigans to The Bloodline Rules matches we have seen in the past, KO hit Reigns with a Stunner from outta nowhere which led to Cody running out to even the playing field as it were, for those don't know Cody will defend the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble against KO in a Ladder Match. 

Roman hit Solo with a spear for the three count, we saw The Rock walk out to the ring, he presented The OTC with the Ula Fala and then stood watching Roman celebrate with the One's to the sky. 

I'll be honest, when Roman and Rock stared at each other in the ring, there was hope we would finally see the match at WrestleMania 41, however, now I'm not so sure because neither Heyman or Rock turned against Roman, staying with the Bloodline Story, Solo is no longer the Tribal Chief, he needs to be careful and wary of Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu, Jacob always says he loves Solo, it's only a matter of time until that Love turns to Hate. 

That was a lot to read there wasn't it? 

John Cena cut an in-ring promo, talking about his farewell tour, he closed by saying he will win the Royal Rumble Match, there has been a lot of talk online, surprise, surprise, in regards to Cena's opponent at WrestleMania, let's just wait and see who it is. 

Congratulations to the NEW Women's World Champion. Rhea Ripley, she dethroned Liv Morgan to begin a new reign, she gained further revenge by hitting Dominik with a Riptide, hopefully this story is now over. The Undertaker made an appearance as The American Badass and congratulated Rhea.  That was a great moment for her. You love to see it. 

Via Instagram, The Rock announced he will be appearing at NXT New Year's Evil, we will talk about that show, stay tuned for that. 

It was great to hear Fein by Travis Scott, who was in attendance, he accompanied Main Event Jey Uso to the ring prior to his win against Drew McIntyre. YEET! 

Shoutout to the crowd for booing Hulk Hogan throughout his promo. He deserved that reaction. One hundred percent. 

CM PUNK won the main event against Seth Rollins, respect for them for giving us, the fans, a great fight to watch. Punk and Rollins will be contenders to win the Rumble next month. But there can only be one winner. 

The Premiere Episode of Monday Night RAW on NETFLIX flowed nicely, there weren't any commercials that slowed the momentum of the show, well, at least over here in the U.K.
