With WWE’s debut on Netflix rapidly approaching, the first show of Monday Night Raw on the streaming service is starting to take shape into a massive night for the wrestling company.
The first Monday Night Raw on Netflix will be on Jan. 6 at the new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, and WWE has let it be known it’s going to be a tone setter. WWE chief content officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque said earlier this month the show is being ‘looked at like a WrestleMania.’
So far, it’s looking like it.
In recent weeks, WWE has given snippets on what will kick off the ‘Netflix era,’ as well as what stars will be on the show. On Wednesday, WWE held a ‘Raw on Netflix kickoff’ show at its headquarters in Connecticut, where more matches were announced for the inaugural show. With the telecast less than three weeks away, here’s what to know for the Monday Night Raw on Netflix.

What to expect for Monday Night Raw on Netflix
Expect much of what you see today to continue with the move to Netflix.
‘We’re not changing the rating of our programming,’ WWE president Nick Khan said earlier this month. ‘That’s definitely not happening. It’s family friendly, multi-generational, advertiser-friendly programming. It’s going to stay that way.’
Khan did say there will be a more ‘global flair’ to programming since it will be available anywhere in the world that has Netflix. There will be commercial breaks in the show, and Khan last said WWE and Netflix are still trying to determine how much − and how long − they will be.
