Here are the results for the debut episode of WWE RAW airing on Netflix on January 6, 2025. You can find our Friday Night SmackDown results here.
After a cold open, the curtains are dropped to show Triple H stood in the ring. In this moment, the fans are being seen and heard by the entire globe. This is the WWE and they are louder than anything they have seen before. He asks the fans if they are ready. Welcome to Monday Night RAW and the Netflix era. And with that said, the lights go out and The Rock arrives!
The Rock says that years ago when he was little Rock traveling across the country with his dad Rocky Johnson, the only way to watch WWE was to buy a ticket or watch it on Saturday morning. Right now, around the world, everyone is watching it on Netflix. We’re making history, and tonight is the largest gate in the history of WWE. Which means finally… the WWE has come back to Netflix… oh, let’s get to the real one. Finally, The Rock has come back to Los Angeles!
The Rock points out some Netflix executives in the crowd. Moving on, the person who has carried this company on his back for a year is Cody Rhodes. The Rock thanks him for that. Rhodes is at ringside. The Rock asks Cody to tell his mom that he says hello. And as for Roman Reigns, he is the original Tribal Chief. He will be watching Tribal Combat tonight closely. Let’s get this show on the road. If you smell what The Rock is cooking.
The Rock walks to the ring to place the Ula Fala on Reigns. After a staredown, they hug it out, and Reigns poses with it.
The New Days speaks. They were supposed to have a match tonight, but they told Triple H they didn’t want to be here, because people in Los Angeles don’t deserve to see them wrestle. The next point is that Los Angeles translates to the “City Of Angels”. They are so blessed to have been here.
John Cena shows up to begin his farewell tour. This is the first time that RAW is being broadcast simultaneously around the world. The crowd thanks Cena. He fires up the crowd to let everyone know around the world how they feel. Cena thanks Netflix for allowing everyone to experience Monday Night RAW. He could not think of a better place to start his farewell tour than Los Angeles. LA is where The Prototype was born, and where he won his first world championship. Cena humbly stands before them to say thank you.
He lists the many names the experts are saying John Cena will face in his last match. And they are also predicting if he will become a 17-time World Champion. Cena doesn’t see that happening. It has been over 2000 days since he won his last match. This is how it goes. His time is up and their time is now. But he wants to stress that a 17th title is never going to happen.
Well, there is a way he could, but it would mean winning something like Money In The Bank or Elimination Chamber. Or what about the Royal Rumble? What if he plays the game and enters the Royal Rumble? It sounds impossible, but if anyone knows him, nothing is impossible. We never give up. He isn’t just going to the Royal Rumble; he is going to win the Royal Rumble.
Dominik Mysterio enters the ring and offers Ripley a hug. She smiles before kicking him in the groin. She ends him with a Riptide. As she heads to the back, The Undertaker appears! He drives in on his motorbike, does a lap around the ring, and meets up with Ripley to congratulate her. They pose together as fireworks are set off.
Chad Gable tells Adam Pearce that he moved past his issues in 2024, and is looking to become a singles champion in 2025. He wants Pearce to give him the best luchador he has next week, and the general manager agrees.
The Miz reminds everyone who he is. He doesn’t want to fight the Wyatt Sicks, but Karrion Kross tricks him in to agreeing. The Miz beat John Cena at WrestleMania, and he is awesome.
In an Instagram post, The Rock announces he will be on NXT tomorrow night.
Jey Uso makes his way to the ring with Travis Scott.
Hulk Hogan is here with Jimmy Hart. He says the greatest part of his life was being with WWE. He’s had all kinds of tag partners over the years, but the fans have always been there for him. After plugging his beer, he reminds us of some of his best partners, before telling everyone that the partnership between Netflix and WWE is the best all time, brother.
