Tue Jan 07 03:34:35 UTC 2025: ## WWE Kicks Off Netflix Era with Star-Studded Monday Night Raw

**Inglewood, CA** – World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) made history last night, debuting its flagship Monday Night Raw on Netflix to a roaring crowd of over 17,000 fans at the Intuit Dome. The event marked a significant shift for the company, moving from traditional television to an over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform.

The show was packed with high-profile matches and appearances. Roman Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa in a brutal Tribal Combat match, reclaiming the Ula Fala and solidifying his position as “The Tribal Chief.” The match featured multiple interferences from other Bloodline members and a tense pre-match appearance by The Rock, who ultimately endorsed Reigns. The Rock also made a surprise return later in the night, handing the Ula Fala back to Reigns after his victory.

John Cena, kicking off his farewell tour, announced his entry into the Royal Rumble, igniting the crowd with chants of “Thank You Cena.” Cena declared his intention to win the Rumble and secure a record-breaking 17th world title.

Other key moments included:

* **Women’s World Championship:** Rhea Ripley defeated Liv Morgan, capturing the title after a hard-fought battle.
* **Grudge Match:** Jey Uso surprisingly defeated Drew McIntyre, capitalizing on a moment of McIntyre’s overconfidence. The match also saw a brief but memorable appearance by Travis Scott alongside Jey.
* **Main Event:** Seth Rollins and CM Punk’s highly anticipated match was sadly not covered in detail in this live updates summary.
* **Legendary Appearances:** Hulk Hogan promoted his beer brand and The Undertaker made a surprise appearance, interacting with Rhea Ripley.

The night also saw the returns of Logan Paul and several other WWE superstars. While the event was a monumental success for WWE and Netflix in the US, Indian fans will continue to access WWE content through Sony Sports Network. The move to Netflix represents a bold new chapter for WWE, and last night’s Raw certainly set the stage for exciting things to come.
