WWE 'Raw' Debuts on Netflix with Cody Rhodes

WWE's flagship show, 'Raw', is set to debut on Netflix on January 6, potentially reaching a vast new audience and marking a significant shift in its broadcasting strategy. Cody Rhodes, a pivotal figure in this transition, is expected to play a major role on both 'Raw' and 'SmackDown', enhancing his ongoing storylines ahead of major events like the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 41. Rhodes, currently the Undisputed WWE Champion, has expressed his intention to retire from full-time wrestling by age 45, though he remains open to part-time appearances and is exploring acting opportunities. The WWE is also capitalizing on Rhodes' popularity by featuring him in high-profile matches, including a championship bout against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble. Meanwhile, speculations suggest a possible future match between John Cena and Logan Paul, though it is not expected to occur in the immediate debut on Netflix. This strategic expansion into streaming and the potential character developments indicate WWE's adaptive strategies under new creative leadership.
