Roman Reigns to Appear on WWE RAW More Than SmackDown in Early 2025 – Roman Reigns is among the top names advertised for WWE Raw’s Netflix debut on January 6th. While he will continue to be a member of the SmackDown brand, fans can expect to see more of him on Raw than in the past.
Since returning from hiatus as the Tribal Chief in the summer of 2020, Reigns has predominantly been associated with SmackDown, which became the flagship show in 2019. However, this is set to change, as Reigns’ star power is being leveraged to boost Raw’s profile on Netflix.
According to WrestleVotes Radio, Reigns will make more frequent appearances on Raw starting early next year. Joey Votes shared that while there is no official roster change confirmed, Reigns’ presence on Raw is intended to draw viewership and enhance the show’s credibility, particularly as Raw transitions to being the A-show on Netflix. This aligns with Netflix’s strategy, as they recognize the significant impact Reigns can have in attracting viewers.
Votes mentioned, “We are told the plans as of now will see Roman Reigns featured on Monday Night Raw and Netflix more so than SmackDown for at least the beginning part of the calendar year. There are no confirmed roster moves yet, but plans indicate Reigns’ involvement in Raw past episode one and throughout key events like the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania season.”
Additionally, the much-anticipated showdown between the OG Bloodline (Reigns, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn) and The Bloodline (Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa) in WarGames will be a highlight of Survivor Series.
This strategic move by WWE and Netflix underscores the value they place on Reigns’ ability to draw audiences and boost viewership, ensuring that Raw on Netflix starts strong and continues to engage fans throughout the year.
