WWE Raw is the company’s true flagship weekly programme that has persevered uninterrupted on television for an astronomical 32 years. But now, it is taking perhaps the boldest step in its entire storied history. From January 6th, 2025, Raw became the exclusive global live property of Netflix for the foreseeable future. Because of this game-changing shift in WWE’s presentation, we here at WWE Netflix News are now able to cover the “A show” as a streaming first-run programme. Just as we did for every live event that the fading WWE Network offered for a decade and onwards on Netflix. We look forward to bringing you the results and major happenings of Raw at a time when its importance and potential for surprises has never been higher.
This episode has a special occasion that makes the result article for Raw return in that it’s John Cena’s final Raw! This Raw episode from Madison Square Garden will feature WWE Intercontinental Champion John Cena for the last time as an active roster member. Who will advance in the Last Time Is Now Tournament to be his last opponent? Might Cena himself wrestle for the last time on a weekly WWE show? This and much more below!
