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.
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.
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
@@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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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”
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
They need to hire Austin to do something, at least, part time. He is such a huge draw. I also think Eric Bischoff coming back, on screen, as an authority figure or manager would be a great idea. I think reaching out to that former audience would be a great idea.
Im hoping its good, but im not expecting much. Especially after the announcement that it will be tvpg still and that ads will still be running during the show.
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.
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..
The first episode of raw on Netflix is going to be big but I do have one question a lot of people are saying they’re going to pull an edge and lita for the first episode what do you think? And if so who will be edge and who will be lita?
Um liv morgan is obviousy rhe main woman and sominic but hat doesnt souns that good nah i just want seth and punk feud to start maybe rock attacks cody or something make cody rhodes vs rock at rumble
@@gregoryfuller9736 yeah cry about it son liv morgan is the top woman now you cannot disrespect her as for becky lynch she will be in different stories she already had a title cry cry more liv is gnna be a champion at wm company trust her
@@BarryAllenBG if Liv was so good Netflix wouldn’t have asked for Becky to come back and she could retired in peace and be a full time mom Rhea and Liv both suck and need Becky to be relevant
@gregoryfuller9736 retired you want becky lynch to retire that young who do you think you are aj lee becky lynch loves this buisness she only wanted hitatus for her which by the way she absoulutely deserved it
As long as it doesn’t keep crashing like the Paul and Tyson fight
First thought was this but i guess maybe there wont be as much demand so maybe it should be ok
Mania or something could be a stress test though
im sure they'll work out the kinks by then (i hope they learned its unstable from this experience)
@@huehue7736 didn’t they say PLEs were going to stay on Peacock for now
@@MrMagoo2k22 I feel like wwe would have as much of a demand or even more than the Tyson fight tbh
Imagine stone cold hit the stunner on dom dom
THAT! Would be dope and genius!, him coming out talking trash to Austin, and then share a beer and stun him

5 million+ ? Naa it would be 2 million at best.
5 million+ ? Naa it would be 2 million at best.
Streaming services are becoming the price of cable

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
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.
@@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
Netflix ruins so stuff so have to bevpatient
Dgaf abt the logo only the content they better cook
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.
I don’t think people understand even with the time difference. The option to watch live for us in Europe IS HUGE
Fr😊
i watch it live on discovery+ but i totally agree !
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.
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. 😂
lol same
They cut other things shorter, like the Wyatt theme , Shatter, they only play the piano keys now for a couple seconds and that it.
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.
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.
Big pops!
Logan Paul vs ric flair main event
Think Flair would have heart attack and probably die if he had another televised match. Love the nature boy!!
Punk with the OG bloodline is gunna be absolutely crazy
A crowd pleaser would be Stone Cold cutting a promo. Logan Paul comes out and puts himself over. Stunner. End segment.
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.

Yeah but you know what they are planning from now a stupid beclky vs sonya match😂
Lol she was a heel and she was awful
Would her agreeing with Punk make her a heel to us or just Seth lol?
That not true a Liv fans stand said that

Terrific

It’s gonna triple h opening the show. Kinda given considering how they've opened up important episodes recently (smackdown on USA...)
Yep then john cena :)
So glad I’m getting back into wwe and I can actually watch it now 😂😂
WWE is still not good let’s be honest Z full of wannabe superstars trying to hard
They are literally opening the show and all their content up to the world.
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
I just got my ticket for the first Raw on Netflix today. Can’t wait. History baby
That’s awesome!
Hopefully this will be better then the Tyson vs Paul fight
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...

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”
Cant wait to see wrestlers getting kidnapped on netflix
We need Tony D'Angelo on RAW 🤣🤣
Like the ministry days?
Just for kicks and giggles give us steve Austin for 5 minutes..my heart would STOP 😂
That Netflix Raw logo is diabolical
Doesn’t work for me brother! 😂
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
Roman and rock face to face at Saturday night main event
Great option too
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.

Because of your opinion i feel like wwe2k25 will be a big deal too.... but we will see
We shall see
Netflix is getting big with all the sports deals they've got. It's probably one of the biggest companies in the world right now.
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

@@AssembleWrestlingVery same problem happened with a friend of mine. Think it should be okay watching it on Demand
Give us the Bianca heel turn on the first episode.
This guy 100% popped and lost his shit when Heyman introduced Punk as the 5th man for WWE games after saying no way punk is there
It was a great moment
I trust HHH with this debut event.
They keep cooking with the long term story telling and I’m here for it
I want to if the wwe library and old ppv and showes will be also available in Netflix?
Internationally they will be, since WWE Network is moving! My hope is once the Peacock deal expires, the US will get that deal too!!
Yep with all the old wwf wcw and ecw stuff hopefully
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
60 million ppl watched the Tyson fight. The numbers for Raw are going to explode from 2-3 million.
Ya I think so too just even people curious to check it out
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
January 6th doesn't have Monday Night Football on either. Netflix on Raw is gonna be pretty cool.
Guess Punk will be at Survivor Series
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
Bring back the hard-core title
i will be there! 😁
Not jealous at all!
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.

I want Jeff Hardy back for retirement tour as well in 2025
Hardys vs mcmg
Wouldn’t be surprised to see them back before the end of next year
What if they do Rock and Austin vs Cody and Roman?
I want to see rock vs Cody at Royal Rumble.
Raw will be awesome 😁
Finally The Rock Has Come Back To Net Flix!
When the stream went down, I switched to mobile and cast the rest of the show to my tv. I had no issues after that, but I couldn't tell you why.
The big deal is if Netflix can work during the streaming. That's the concern.
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?
I hope raw on netflix doesn't disappoint like tyson and jake fight.
The undertaker shows up and challenge the Rock at wrestlemania would be fire
They need to hire Austin to do something, at least, part time. He is such a huge draw. I also think Eric Bischoff coming back, on screen, as an authority figure or manager would be a great idea. I think reaching out to that former audience would be a great idea.
Im hoping its good, but im not expecting much. Especially after the announcement that it will be tvpg still and that ads will still be running during the show.
Can we get intros and pyro at the beginning of the show in this new season? 😩🔥
yeah seriously!
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.
I think we have a lot of expectations with this and we are probably going to be disappointed if history indicates anything.
I’m going boys!

I doubt 45-60 million people will watch Raw. But maybe 3-5 million and hopefully that doesn’t cause a lag
The platform is horrendous for live shows. It’ll buffer for people and netflix will blame it on people’s internet
I can’t wait
My question is, what do you think that the uso going after the war games
3 hour raw: people complain it's too long
2 hour raw: people complain it's too short 🤔
When do you think tickets will go on sale?
The Roman memes 😂
Dude you should have 1m subs at least! Thats a crime againts humanity
lol appreciate the support!
Glass breaking might be the perfect opener
If hope it happens
I’m attending the premiere I just want them to push the boundaries & better storytelling including cussing that’s necessary for segments.
6:06 I need that 🥲😅😅
