It seems the confirmed for the WWE Raw Netflix premiere episode has just got bigger with two more confirmations on the show. Hulk Hogan is the latest name to get confirmed for his next LIVE appearance on WWE TV after a couple of years during this star-studded show on Netflix in Los Angeles.
While no official confirmation is available for Hogan’s appearance on WWE Raw, an update through Wrestling Observer Newsletter confirmed that the old-school name is slated to make an appearance. While nothing specific regarding this appearance has been mentioned by the source, WWE’s strategy is clear and that’s to feature major stars for the historic launch.

As such, the plan is to present surprises throughout the WWE Raw Netflix debut show to maintain excitement without overwhelming viewers. This is the reason that WWE has announced that former United States Champion Logan Paul will make his return to TV on this episode. This appearance will ensure that WWE could grab attention from the mainstream side.
This week’s WWE Raw would be the first time that Logan will be seen on WWE television since last year’s SummerSlam, when he lost the United States title to LA Knight. Shortly after that loss, he teased retirement, especially after becoming a father. However, Logan resurfaced in WWE during their Netflix kickoff event at WWE Headquarters last month.
