Much more likely to be Bex/Liv and if they get Lyra involved which i've been advocating for, they can sprinkle her and Raquel in amongst the buildup.

This is floating around, would be very weird to announce it on fucking Main Event of all places so no idea if it's actually legit or not, will hold my thoughts until then.​

I don't even think Main Event is on Hulu anymore for anyone in America to see if that's true or not lol

People have been worried about Netflix live streaming issues, but if you don't know or don't remember when WWE Network first launched one of the reasons they ran NXT Arrival was in case there were any kinks with the live stream they could work them out before WrestleMania. So, Netflix is using the boxing event and the football games as a test before the main show debuts in January.

John Cena marks first stop of Farewell Tour on the Raw on Netflix Premiere​

2025 will mark John Cena's Farewell Tour and the first stop will be at the Raw on Netflix Premiere in the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

What will 2025 look like for The Greatest of All Time?

Jey Uso looks to take down Drew McIntyre​

20241230_RAW_Netflix_Match_JeyDrew_16x9_date--5cb971a4f8576db6e2641f2485607e38.jpg

Drew McIntyre’s thirst for destruction on anyone aligned with Roman Reigns has put a bullseye on Jey Uso.

McIntyre’s disdain for Uso is well known as is their history.

McIntyre ambushed Uso a few weeks ago when The Scottish Warrior made his return on Raw.

With Uso out for retribution, the two will collide on the Raw on Netflix Premiere.

Uso will also look for his first win against McIntyre, as he has never between The Scottish Psychopath, having fallen on five previous occasions.

Can Uso finally defeat McIntyre on the Raw on Netflix Premiere?​

Am I looking too much into this but does anyone else get the vibe from this video that Liv is actually gonna win? Maybe it was just all weirdly written but having Rhea say TJD or Raquel can't help Liv is just odd considering it's a LWS match. Then ontop of that the pushing of the 'This has to end' tagline considering Liv would just get a rematch if she lost, no?

Got this really odd feeling now that Liv wins, tells Rhea no more rematches then she ends up winning the Rumble or Chamber and winning anyway at Mania.

Not long to wait to be proven totally wrong and all this was for nothing I guess :lmao

Maybe Becky shows and lays out both since there is still unfinished issues with both.

Liv Morgan to defend her title against Rhea Ripley​

Rhea Ripley is coming for the title she never lost when she challenges Women's World Champion Liv Morgan.

The Eradicator's epic rivalry with the devious Morgan has been as intense as it is destructive. The championship, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and The Judgment Day were all eventually taken from Ripley. She promises that after Jan. 6, "The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour" will close and her opponent will have nothing left when the smoke clears.

Don’t miss one of the all-time biggest episodes of Monday Night Raw live on Jan. 6, 2025, on Netflix at 8/7 C.​
