WrestleVotes posted:
I’m told tonight’s historic cold open for Monday Night RAW will center around ‘The Story of Wrestling,’ featuring iconic superstars and moments painted on a ring canvas. An artistic and striking visual, voiced over by Triple H, will kick off the broadcast on Netflix.
WWE fans can surely expect a typically fair and even-handed portrayal of professional wrestling's rich history from the market leaders, who would never, ever lead its audience astray with such matters.
A host of major happenings have been linked up for tonight's show, including an advertised appearance from John Cena and one from Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who confirmed he'd be at the Netflix premiere over the weekend.
Netflix became WWE Raw's exclusive home on January 1st, thus ending the flagship show's long tenure on USA Network. Tonight's live broadcast is the first of what could be a 10-year partnership between WWE and Netflix, though Netflix is understood to have a five-year get-out clause.
The following matches have been announced for tonight's Raw:
- The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) vs. Rey Mysterio and a mystery partner
- Drew McIntyre vs. Jey Uso
- Women's World Championship Last Woman Standing Match: Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley
- Tribal Combat Match: Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa
- CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins
