WWE Raw Debut on Netflix Is Bigger Than We Think...

[@huehue7736]

As long as it doesn’t keep crashing like the Paul and Tyson fight

[@MrMagoo2k22]

First thought was this but i guess maybe there wont be as much demand so maybe it should be ok

[@MrMagoo2k22]

Mania or something could be a stress test though

[@ilyskelet0n]

im sure they'll work out the kinks by then (i hope they learned its unstable from this experience)

[@jasonmartinson7758]

@@huehue7736 didn’t they say PLEs were going to stay on Peacock for now

[@ricocastle2222]

@@MrMagoo2k22 I feel like wwe would have as much of a demand or even more than the Tyson fight tbh

[@johnhitman9549]

Imagine stone cold hit the stunner on dom dom

[@dee2ttown]

THAT! Would be dope and genius!, him coming out talking trash to Austin, and then share a beer and stun him

[@kadharefinley224]

That premiere episode of RAW on Netflix is going to be absolutely MASSIVE. Probably gonna to be biggest episode in flagship shows history. Btw am I the only one who isn’t feeling the new RAW logo, I get what they’re trying to do with the curves like the Netflix logo

[@anthonywrasslin]

I just hope the stream won't lag like sh*t. It happened during last night's Netflix boxing event, I assume due to the insane viewership traffic

[@VarianNash]

It's like SmackDown's new logo, it's gonna take some time to get used to. For me, anyway. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.

[@Kthecrusher]

⁠​⁠@@anthonywrasslinexactly i thought it was just my tv lol but I don’t think nearly as many people are gonna watch this as the Tyson vs Paul fight i think that will have gotten more views then the raw Netflix premiere

[@BarryAllenBG]

Netflix ruins so stuff so have to bevpatient

[@GustavosChannel-vu3xy]

Dgaf abt the logo only the content they better cook

[@StephTerry-c2y]

They should open up Raw with a Cinematic scene like Roman and Cody did for bad blood. Then Punk has to open up the live spot and welcome everybody to Raw on Netflix.

[@ALI-soon1Milli]

I don’t think people understand even with the time difference. The option to watch live for us in Europe IS HUGE

[@terrorgaming459]

Fr😊

[@areyoulostbabygorl231]

i watch it live on discovery+ but i totally agree !

[@MoAdan28]

Even i can't buy BT SPORT anymore or sky sports like back in the day in the uk so I have to pirate the stream elsewhere, but this is huge for all of us in the UK.

[@jamiewright3510]

The programming is way better lately. That’s why I miss 3 hr shows. Looking forward to that coming back! I never thought I’d say that. 😂

[@AssembleShow]

lol same

[@DMChase17]

They cut other things shorter, like the Wyatt theme , Shatter, they only play the piano keys now for a couple seconds and that it.

[@Double-R]

I genuinely think that wwe could easily average 5 million+ viewers on Netflix simply because of how easy it would be to watch. I don’t have cable and refuse to get it. Because of that, I have to pirate the stream just to watch live. With Netflix I won’t have to anymore.

[@UncleHarper666]

5 million+ ? Naa it would be 2 million at best.

[@UncleHarper666]

5 million+ ? Naa it would be 2 million at best.

[@Al-Rob-ei1iu]

Streaming services are becoming the price of cable

[@cerebralassassin2185]

The viewership is gonna be insane. I hope they go all out with the first episode by having tons of legends having cameos and stuff like they used to do with big events back in the day. Also it going into more tv-14 is gonna be great as long as they don't overuse the F-Bomb because that word is so overused anymore.

[@JawnNawva]

They need to open it up with a cinematic sequence. Something that can attract non-wrestling audiences, that leads into a hype Raw stadium. Right after that, they need to have a solid promo with a surprise return interrupting. That would make a great RAW opener.

[@sarg2k]

A crowd pleaser would be Stone Cold cutting a promo. Logan Paul comes out and puts himself over. Stunner. End segment.

[@philthatcher6111]

Have Rock come out, let him say final boss 8 times and stare at Cody for a bit. Cena announcing he will be in the rumble will get a pop. Lesnar or Charlotte returning would bring a decent pop too.

[@AssembleWrestling]

Big pops!

[@terrorgaming459]

Logan Paul vs ric flair main event

[@philthatcher6111]

Think Flair would have heart attack and probably die if he had another televised match. Love the nature boy!!

[@JeffGonyo]

That Netflix Raw logo is HIDDEOUS!! But doesn’t change anything to me I’m still very hyped for everything coming up! (Netflix just has to not be terrible at live streaming)

[@slayerofsheeple]

Since all the participants in the Women's US Title Tournament are from SmackDown im guessing the debut of RAW on Netflix will have the first match(es) of the Women's IC Title Tournament and who will be crowned on the Saturday Nights Main Event before the Royal Rumble.

[@ChadTasteInMusic421]

I don't think a woman's Intercontinental Championship is necessary. It should be a situation like the women's tag team championship belts where they are defended on both brands. Sometimes two just isn't necessary and I've noticed WWE struggles with booking multiple belts of the same type recently.

[@SkamOneOfficial]

Punk with the OG bloodline is gunna be absolutely crazy

[@IBelieveinJoehendryTNA]

wake me up when the final boss shows up again. ☝

[@Pierrepaule]

3:44 I think Becky needs to come back as a Heel honestly I feel like she did everything as a Face but not everything as a Heel. So I want Becky Lynch to return as a really really Bad Girl.

[@BarryAllenBG]

Yeah but you know what they are planning from now a stupid beclky vs sonya match😂

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

Lol she was a heel and she was awful

[@takerhulk3163]

Would her agreeing with Punk make her a heel to us or just Seth lol?

[@gregoryfuller9736]

That not true a Liv fans stand said that

[@DadTalksLive]

This didn’t age well.. Punk will indeed be on War Games

[@vanni.gio28]

CM Punk and John Cena had a legendary match on Raw once. It would be awesome for them to run that back on the Raw Netflix debut. Either that or I can totally see Punk being Cena’s retirement match.

[@extremeking425]

I can't wait for January 6th, wait that came out wrong. You all know what I mean. In two months will be 4 years since that happened, man time flies...

[@ThisIsMarkJones]

For the opening segment on Raw's Netflix debut ... what about something akin to when The Rock beat up Cody. Picture it, the show goes live with The Rock beating up Roman Reigns, after the beatdown is finished, have the camera follow The Rock to the ring in order to cut a promo on Roman. You could have Roman come down to the ring during the promo and start a fight between the two of them, have the fight broken up by security and have a face-off between the two as security is trying to break them up. You could potentially end the segment by having Rock flex his board member muscles and dismiss security, after security is dismissed you can have Jacob Fatu attack Roman (ordered by Rock of course), setting up Roman for a match with Jacob at the Rumble. It's chaotic, advances stories and gives a hot segment to kick off the show.

[@jamiewright3510]

I’m looking forward to the crowd not getting muted! Hopefully 🤞

[@A1trizzy]

"HOLY ____, HOLY ____" 😂😂

[@AkiraDubs]

If the debut is trash, I’m coming back to this video and letting you know.

[@AssembleWrestling]

Terrific

[@SS-xq4lj]

You have already made up your mind. This lame smart mark hater guy was played out in the late 90’s. It’s ok you missed it. No need to wear this attitude out anymore.

[@couldnotic]

Nah, if they bring Stone Cold Steve Austin, especially raw on Netflix, they have to let him go off on cussing. I know he's the type of person that's not afraid to swear.

[@00_FLAMEx7]

It’s gonna triple h opening the show. Kinda given considering how they've opened up important episodes recently (smackdown on USA...)

[@BarryAllenBG]

Yep then john cena :)

[@tylerclout8175]

They are literally opening the show and all their content up to the world.

[@sandro9734]

Honestly man so happy for Netflix a couple years ago wasn’t looking good for them as a company and now they got the best ideas to get Netflix back to #1

[@Benji-v8f]

I’m so excited for this I dropped off in August after going on holiday broke my schedule and I have kept up with odd highlights here there but to actually watch a full show again is so exciting and being in the UK I’m not gonna miss anything anymore I hope we get the archive as well it’s the only thing we don’t have a clear picture of yet

[@bodycountplays2915]

Rhia is back, she came back on the pretaped show (next raw) she comes out when they're talking about war games, she comes to the ring and just says "WAR GAMES" and hits Liv

[@Kthecrusher]

Hopefully this will be better then the Tyson vs Paul fight

[@KwaylaSoul]

Punk beating Gunther on The debut Netflix episode would be cool. Let him hold the title till mania

[@worldgame7754]

Nice, my friend. Been so busy of late. Catching up on all content. Great assessment. I still can’t believe this is happening, going to be so frickin big!

[@ALI-soon1Milli]

While I would never want them to go full cinema like Lucha Underground. But the Netflix raw could up the production value and change some aspects. Make it look different. Also the entire arena. Make it look fresh but not cold and mechanical.

[@joshshaw3284]

Matt or LA Knight, I love your videos. I do miss the 3 shows. I am just an old wrestling fan and that is like the only thing I watch at night. I do think WWE will be big on Netflix. I will just miss WWE shows on the USA channel. A long history of wrestling on that channel. I love when WWE Challege, Primetime, and I even love the first Monday Night Raw seeing it for the first time in 93. Sometimes change is good and I am hoping this is a huge, big thing. Go big or go home.

[@nathankalonji1898]

So glad I’m getting back into wwe and I can actually watch it now 😂😂

[@davidvetter2322]

I just got my ticket for the first Raw on Netflix today. Can’t wait. History baby

[@wolvgrizz7763]

Cant wait to see wrestlers getting kidnapped on netflix We need Tony D'Angelo on RAW 🤣🤣

Like the ministry days?

[@AbeJimenez]

Absolutely Hell Yeah!! to Stone Cold!! He should be the new commissioner of RAW

[@nickplayz3993]

You think there will be streaming issues ? There was so much problems for the Tyson fight so imagine every Monday ppl are streaming on a app where ppl love to watch their shows or movies

[@Kthecrusher]

I thought I was the only one that had the buffering problem but the fight wasn’t very good anyway so hopefully raw on Netflix will be better than that fight

[@AhmedFakher]

I want to if the wwe library and old ppv and showes will be also available in Netflix?

[@henstar658]

Internationally they will be, since WWE Network is moving! My hope is once the Peacock deal expires, the US will get that deal too!!

[@takerhulk3163]

Yep with all the old wwf wcw and ecw stuff hopefully

[@AmateurHour1111]

In the beginning of the video “I don’t need the undertaker to just show up for no reason” Ten minutes later, “I want Austin to come back for no reason. We need some old guys”

[@DMChase17]

I miss the 3 hrs too, they cut other things shorter. We don’t hear the whole song Shatter now, love the song, for the Wyatt’s. It’s just the piano keys.

[@SHREDDYMURCURY]

Got to be honest, after the fake boxing match Nonflix put on last Saturday night, I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to watching raw and think I’m looking at no mercy from the Nintendo 64

[@anthonyhampton2991]

I hope they do something special with the set like attitude era/ ruthless aggression / modern era hybrid. Idk why but something about the old school ramp/titan tron is so iconic. And seeing how they been giving the belts that more classic look I’m hoping they do that with the all around theme

[@AnthonyJosh]

When do you think tickets will go on sale?

[@757zacarias]

Goldberg is currently coming back next year so he could be on raw feuding with Gunther

[@JakeRandall-wm7hc]

Main Event Cody vs Rock WWE title match. Will involve both bloodlines and various other wrestlers similar to Eddie vs H draft match in 2004 and end with Brock Lesnar returning to save Heyman

[@NhlanhlaSikosana]

John cena says the same thing he said this will be his last matches but keeps coming back I don't hate cena but the man has been going back on his word time and time saying this is his last but comes back

[@isaiahlasley4668]

January 6th doesn't have Monday Night Football on either. Netflix on Raw is gonna be pretty cool.

[@DMChase17]

I would like to see what Gunther can do without a belt on him. I’ve only seen him wrestle with a championship on his waist , from. NXT to the whole IC then King of the Ring then right to the Championship. What’s next after that? I think they rushed him, I hope not he’s a beast

[@VelocityXGaming]

Bring back the hard-core title

[@chadbrisco4042]

They gotta go big with this one. They gotta make it the greatest show they've ever put on because of the amount of eyes that will be on the show. There will be more eyes on the first episode on Netflix then any raw, smackdown, PLE, PPV, or Wrestlemania they've ever done before. It's a make or break thing and they need to go all out. If they make this the greatest night in wrestling history, just imagine the amount of new fans they'd have tuning in every week, but of course they'd need to keep up their pace almost every week with a few slower paced shows here and there to not tire them out of course.

[@SpeedyGonzalez58]

I was told the live streaming wasn’t great on the boxing event of Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul, like that might be problematic for live events with too much traffic of viewership, Netflix better fix this. I’m sure there will be some great hype for the Raw Premiere edition

[@AssembleWrestling]

Ya mine was buffering while watching

[@jackwebster9246]

Couldn't give a crap about NF. If it's not available in Australia through the other services we have had for 30 years, we will watch something else. Like with WCW.

[@zababooeey]

What if they do Rock and Austin vs Cody and Roman?

[@naheemquattlebaum2267]

I think that's why they're taping a lot of shows now - to give their talent time to rest for the holidays. Once New Year's is over, business is going to pick up fast.

[@itsmemiked03]

Guess Punk will be at Survivor Series

[@GenerationsCollide-byudred]

Raw will be awesome 😁

[@PhillAccio]

60 million ppl watched the Tyson fight. The numbers for Raw are going to explode from 2-3 million.

[@AssembleWrestling]

Ya I think so too just even people curious to check it out

[@mattmanc73]

I keep saying this... When we look back on 2025 in a few years the first RAW on Netflix will be considered the biggest show of 2025. They should treat it as a major PLE in my opinion.

[@mr5timewcwchamp]

I trust HHH with this debut event. They keep cooking with the long term story telling and I’m here for it

[@cowbelltm]

Did you watch jake paul Fight? I don't know what's was worse the fight or the live feed.. I think Netflix is going to be a disaster at times with live feeds. They can't handle large amounts of streaming, and without a major hosting update, it's going to happen again. Last night was not good for new fans and old..

[@lazysince92]

I doubt 45-60 million people will watch Raw. But maybe 3-5 million and hopefully that doesn’t cause a lag

[@keithnmoore2]

For those outside the US, all the programming and PLEs are in one place. How do you make PLEs feel more important than Raw and Smackdown?

[@manic221]

For the opening of the show I’d like to see a cinematic opening something akin to the Cody and Roman face to face or something with something we’ve never seen before. Into a hyped crowd and John Cena music (or another returner) I would like rather then a “women’s interncontinental belt” I’d like to see a “women’s Netflix champion” or something. A new design with some Netflix branding to really introduce something new for the Netflix era.
