WWE Moved Two WrestleMania 41 Matches to RAW on Netflix Premiere – WWE delivered a memorable show with the premiere episode of RAW on Netflix on January 6, 2025, from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, treating the debut as a premium live event-level spectacle. The event featured several major moments, including appearances from The Rock and John Cena, as well as high-stakes matches that left a lasting impact.
The main event saw CM Punk defeating Seth Rollins in a hard-fought battle that marked Punk’s first WWE television match in over a decade. The night opened with Roman Reigns taking on Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match to determine the true Tribal Chief. Additionally, a major title change occurred when Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan lost her championship to Rhea Ripley in a brutal contest.
According to a report from PWInsider, WWE originally planned two of these bouts for WrestleMania 41 but opted to shift them to the Netflix debut. Both CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins and Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley were penciled in as potential matches for the biggest show of the year. However, with the Netflix premiere marking the start of a new era for RAW, WWE chose to use the high-profile matchups to boost the debut’s significance.
The decision to treat the premiere with premium-level matches underscores WWE’s strategy to make an immediate impact with its Netflix partnership. With major stars, championship drama, and high-stakes rivalries, WWE set the tone for a new chapter in Monday Night RAW’s legacy.
