WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix Live Results: Winners, Highlights, More

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The next era in WWE has arrived.

WWE is starting 2025 with one of the biggest changes in company history: the legendary “Monday Night Raw” is making its Netflix debut. Raw, which has been on the air since 1993, will move to the streaming giant for its first non-cable show and is expected to be a monumental night for WWE.

There are four matches scheduled to start the evening, and they’re all main event-worthy fights. CM Punk and Seth Rollins will finally take their feud to the ring, the right to wear the Ula Fala will be decided in tribal combat, and the top rivalry in the women’s division begins a new chapter with championship gold on the line. That doesn’t even take into account the many performances that will take place, including an “electrifying” one and the start of the John Cena farewell tour.

Follow USA TODAY Sports for all the highlights and results from the first Monday Night Raw on Netflix.

Tribal battle for the Ula Fala and the title of tribal chief: Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa

After locking down at the start, Reigns threw Sikoa out of the ring. They locked horns again on the outside, and Sikoa then took advantage by bouncing Reigns’ head off the announcer’s table.

The momentum changed when Sikoa brought out the weapons, threw the steel steps at his opponent and then used a chair. After Reigns countered the shots, the competitors continued to fight back and forth, taking every opportunity to land a brutal shot.

Reigns sent Sikoa through a table and attempted the pin, but Tama Tonga came out to stop the referee. Jacob Fatu then showed up and went to work on Reigns to help Sikoa secure the win. He landed a Samoan Spike, but Reigns kicked out of the pin. Frustrated, Sikoa then hit the Samoan spike at the referee.

With Reigns outnumbered, Sami Zayn and Jimmy Uso came out to neutralize the fight and then beat off Sikoa. Reigns landed a spear, but there was no referee to count. When a new one came out, Sikoa stepped out to continue the chaos.

Then another shock: Kevin Owens showed up to take out Reigns, and Cody Rhodes came to take care of his rival and take the fight to the crowd.

Then it was Reigns and Sikoa who left. The two tried to kill each other and it was Reigns who landed the spear. His opponent was down and Reigns let out his war cry before landing another spear. He reached for the pin, got it, and Reigns is back as tribal chief.

As Paul Heyman was about to give Reigns the Ula Fala, The Rock came in. He took the Ula Fala and placed it around Reigns’ neck and they hugged.

Analysis: It was the same old chaos that reigns in tribal battles, and it ends with the “OTC” on top. It was refreshing to see both sides jump right into the action instead of waiting for something to develop.

Sikoa’s sidekicks were expected to come out, but Owens was a surprise. Still, there was enough support for Reigns and Rhodes’ performance showed that both sides have mutual respect.

The fight in The Bloodline is far from decided and will likely head towards WrestleMania. But Reigns is back on top and ready to reclaim his claim within WWE, just like many fans have been waiting for.

The rock appears

People didn’t have to wait long to see The Rock.

The WWE legend was the first to leave the entrance ramp as the crowd at the Intuit Dome erupted as his music played over the speakers. He captured the People’s Championship title, which he received at WrestleMania 40 weekend, and gave it to his daughters to hold before he entered the ring.

The Rock remembered how hard it was to watch wrestling as a kid, and now it’s available worldwide. He announced that Monday’s event set the record for the greatest arena goal in WWE history.

But what happened next was a shock. The Rock thanked WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes for carrying the company “on his back” over the past year. The two were rivals at WrestleMania 40 and The Rock was now gracious to Rhodes, who was in attendance. Both sides acknowledged each other with respect. They later hugged, which must have stunned the WWE audience.

He then paid tribute to Roman Reigns, the “original tribal chief,” who will take on Solo Sikoa in the tribal battle for the right to wear the Ula Fala. The Rock said he will closely monitor the outcome of the match.

Triple H opens the show

The evening begins with WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque unveiling the new ring for Monday Night Raw. He told the audience that the whole world can watch the show now that it is available on Netflix. He made his signature “Are you ready?” before the crowd erupted.

“Welcome to the Netflix era,” he shouted.
