A milestone episode of WWE Raw is waiting for us more than a week from now to change the course of professional wrestling as we see it on television. Transitioning from traditional cable TV, WWE’s flagship show is arriving on the largest OTT platform in the world that will offer a live version from anywhere in the world with more flexibility available.
Already, a set of premium live event caliber main events have been announced for the WWE Raw – Netflix debut episode. Last night, a new commercial aired during Netflix’s NFL Christmas Gameday coverage, highlighting the show which essentially showcased the lineup for the historic show and it should include a couple of returning former world champions.
The ad featured Becky Lynch, who has been absent from WWE since her contract expired on June 1, 2024. In the short promo, Lynch wore all black with a GOAT graphic on her back, giving a brief look through her back to the camera. The appearance does indicate that she will be there on WWE Raw – Netflix premiere.
