WWE Moves to a One-Show Model with RAW on Netflix


WWE has launched a unique partnership with Netflix to exclusively air its one flagship show, RAW and all of its premium live events

In a historic shift, WWE is consolidating its programming into a single weekly show, Monday Night RAW, exclusively on Netflix starting in May 2024. This move marks the end of the long-running brand split, streamlining WWE’s structure and focusing on quality over quantity. With this transition, WWE is also reducing its championship landscape to just three divisions: the WWE Undisputed Championship, the WWE United States Championship, and the World Tag Team Championships. This simplification ensures a more competitive and meaningful title scene, eliminating the previous brand-specific belts that often diluted the prestige of championship reigns. The new titles will also have fresh starts with previous winners being archived and reset. The new RAW will feature a blend of legendary superstars and rising talent, creating a dynamic mix that appeals to long-time fans and new viewers alike. Expect to see returning icons alongside the best of today’s generation, all battling for supremacy in a more focused and high-stakes environment.

By moving to Netflix, WWE is embracing a new era of streaming-first wrestling, offering fans on-demand access to the biggest matches, compelling storylines, and premium content. This change is expected to bring a more cinematic approach to storytelling, with longer match times and deeper character development. The restructuring also allows WWE to move away from the fatigue of multiple weekly shows and over-saturated rosters. Instead, every superstar on RAW will have a clear purpose, and every title match will feel special. The new format aims to create must-watch television, ensuring that RAW remains the flagship of professional wrestling in the streaming age. With WWE’s bold decision to go all-in on Netflix, the company is setting the stage for a new era of sports entertainment, one that prioritizes prestige, storytelling, and accessibility like never before.

The new unified roster is expected to be announced over the next couple of days in advance of the kickoff show on May 1st.

Rhodes has become one of the top stars in the company since returning at WM 38.

Tale of the Tape:
Height: 6'2
Weight: 222lbs
Class: Light Heavyweight
Signature Moves: Cross Rhodes, Disaster Kick, Bionic Elbow

Cody Rhodes was born into wrestling royalty, the son of the legendary "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. But instead of riding on his family’s legacy, he chose to carve his own path—one built on resilience, sacrifice, and an unrelenting desire to be the best. Embracing the moniker "The American Nightmare," Cody represents the other side of the dream: the hard-fought struggle, the pain of falling short, and the will to rise again. Now, in WWE’s new era, the American Nightmare is determined to finish his story and claim the ultimate prize—the WWE Undisputed Championship. His elite in-ring ability, undeniable charisma, and deep connection with the WWE Universe make him a true main-event force. But the road ahead is filled with obstacles, from old rivals to new threats looking to make their mark.

With his family name behind him and his own legacy ahead, Cody stands at a crossroads. Will he finally reach the top and prove that hard work triumphs over all, or will his nightmare continue? One thing is certain—Cody Rhodes is here to fight, to inspire, and to show the world what it truly means to earn greatness.

"The Ring General" Gunther


Gunther is arguably the most gifted technical wrestler in the world right now.

Tale of the Tape:
Height: 6'4
Weight: 250lbs
Class: Heavyweight
Signature Moves: Folding Powerbomb, Knife Edge Chop, Big Boot

Gunther is not just a competitor—he is a force of nature. A master of precision, discipline, and brutality, The Ring General dominates his opponents with a relentless, methodical offense that leaves no room for weakness. His devastating chops, raw power, and unwavering ring IQ make him one of the most feared superstars in WWE today. As the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of the modern era, Gunther has already proven himself as a once-in-a-generation talent. But now, with WWE shifting to a streamlined format, his focus is set on even greater heights—the WWE Undisputed Championship. With fewer titles and tougher competition, only the absolute best will rise to the top, and Gunther intends to leave no doubt that he belongs there.

In his world, there is no flash—only dominance. No wasted movement—only efficiency. No excuses—only victory. Will the rest of WWE be able to withstand the storm that is Gunther, or will the Ring General command total control of this new era? One thing is for sure: when Gunther steps into the ring, it is his battleground, and his rules apply.

A heel version of Cena is hungry to return to the WWE and chase a record breaking 17th title

Tale of the Tape:
Height: 6'1
Weight: 251lbs
Class: Heavyweight
Signature Moves: Attitude Adjustment, STFU

John Cena is more than a superstar—he is an icon, a 16-time world champion, and the embodiment of Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect. For over two decades, he has defined WWE, standing tall against the toughest competitors and delivering some of the most unforgettable moments in wrestling history. But in this new era of WWE, the question remains: Does Cena have one more run left in him? With WWE now streamlined into a single show, the competition has never been fiercer. The WWE Undisputed Championship stands as the ultimate prize, and while new superstars are hungry to take over, Cena has never been one to back down from a challenge. Whether it’s the Attitude Adjustment, the Five Knuckle Shuffle, or simply outworking everyone in his path, Cena remains a serious threat to any opponent.

Is this the final chapter in Cena’s legendary career, or is there one last title run in store for the Greatest of All Time? Either way, when John Cena steps into the ring, the WWE Universe knows one thing for sure: the champ is always in the fight.

"The Viper" Randy Orton


The Viper is ready to strike in this new era

Tale of the Tape:
Height: 6'5

Now, in this new era of WWE, Orton sees a landscape filled with old enemies and fresh targets—and he’s ready to remind everyone why he is a 14-time world champion.
