Netflix has officially showcased its chosen top stars of the WWE Raw roster following the show‘s relocation to its platform on January 6, 2025. The streaming service adjusted its promotional content to better reflect the current Raw roster, marking an important shift in representation since WWE Raw transitioned from the USA Network to Netflix, with the debut episode filmed in Los Angeles.
Changes in Featured Wrestlers Highlight WWE Raw’s Evolving Roster
Before moving to Netflix, advertising for WWE Raw on the platform prominently displayed Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Bianca Belair—who were then part of the SmackDown brand. However, as nearly nine months have passed since Raw found a new home on Netflix, the service has refreshed its visual assets to spotlight wrestlers who now lead the show’s storylines and popularity.
The latest promotional posters now present Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, CM Punk, Becky Lynch, Jey Uso, Penta, and Dominik Mysterio. These selections suggest that Netflix recognizes these individuals as the faces driving the current Raw brand.
Upcoming WWE Raw Episode Builds Anticipation for Crown Jewel Event
Tonight’s WWE Raw episode will serve as the final broadcast before the major Crown Jewel event in Perth, featuring promotional spots from prominent wrestlers Roman Reigns and CM Punk. This go-home show is pivotal in setting story arcs and intensifying rivalries ahead of the high-profile wrestling spectacle.
