We’re only hours away from Raw’s debut on Netflix, where the world-famous wrestling promotion will call home exclusively for the next 10 years. Here’s everything you need to know about Raw’s debut on Netflix.
As Netflix continues to take strides forward in live content, subscribers will be able to stream WWE’s beloved wrestling brand, Raw, live every Monday night for the next ten years. Tonight, audiences will see the likes of Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, and Seth Rollins in action, alongside appearances from WWE legends.

How long is Raw?
The show runs for approximately three hours. With Raw moving to Netflix, there is no longer any pressure from network television to end the show “on time,” which means that the runtime of each Raw show could change slightly from week to week.
A post-show will be available on the WWE’s official YouTube channel, where WWE Superstars and analysts will break down what happened on Raw.
What matches are booked?
So far, four matches have been confirmed for Raw:
| Match | Stipulation |
|---|---|
| Roman Reigns vs Solo Sikoa | Tribal Combat for the Ula Fala and recognition as Tribal Chief of the Anoaʻi family[ |
| Liv Morgan (Women’s World Champion) vs Rhea Ripley | Title Match |
| Drew McIntyre vs. Jey Uso | Singles Match |
| CM Punk vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins | Singles Match |
Appearances from WWE Legends such as Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and John Cena have been confirmed for the event.
