Main Event for WWE RAW’s Netflix Premiere Revealed

WWE has officially announced that CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins will headline the Monday Night RAW Netflix premiere on January 6, 2025, setting the stage for an epic showdown.

A Long-Awaited Showdown Finally Set

The historic debut of WWE RAW on Netflix is scheduled for January 6, 2025, and WWE has confirmed that the main event will feature a highly-anticipated match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins. This announcement was made during the RAW on Netflix Kickoff Special streamed on YouTube, sending waves of excitement through the WWE Universe.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting this clash since CM Punk’s return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023. The seeds of their rivalry were sown in 2019 during Punk’s time on the WWE Backstage show. Now, after years of anticipation and escalating tensions, the two will finally collide in a match that promises to deliver fireworks.

Building the Rivalry on RAW

The path to this match has been anything but smooth. Punk returned to RAW after a brief hiatus, only to find Seth Rollins embroiled in a feud with Bronson Reed. When an injury sidelined Reed, Punk stepped in, and the rivalry with Rollins quickly intensified. Their confrontations included a recent chaotic brawl that had to be broken up by officials.

Rollins, who currently holds the World Heavyweight Championship, has expressed disdain for Punk, calling him a “fake messiah.” Punk, never one to shy away from controversy, has responded in kind, making this bout a personal and professional grudge match.

The Significance of RAW’s Netflix Premiere

WWE’s move to Netflix marks a new era for the company, and kicking it off with Punk vs. Rollins is a strategic decision. This high-profile match is expected to attract both long-time wrestling fans and new viewers to the platform.

What to Expect

With two of WWE’s most talented and outspoken superstars facing off, the stakes are incredibly high. Will Punk prove he still has what it takes, or will Rollins defend his dominance on RAW’s new platform?

Fans won’t want to miss this historic night as WWE enters its Netflix era with a bang.
