WWE RAW Netflix Debut Breaks Records, Sparks Controversy

WWE Monday Night Raw's debut on Netflix was marked by high-profile appearances and a significant partnership with the streaming giant, resulting in record-breaking viewership numbers. Stephanie McMahon celebrated WWE's RAW topping Netflix's U.S. charts, surpassing even popular series like 'Squid Game' Season 2. The event featured appearances by stars like The Rock, John Cena, and notably, rapper Travis Scott, who stirred controversy by smoking a joint during an entrance with wrestler Jey Uso. This unexpected move highlighted the less censored nature of WWE's new partnership with Netflix, raising both eyebrows and questions about future content restrictions. The collaboration is seen as setting a new standard for WWE programming, with future appearances by Scott anticipated. The move to Netflix heralds a new era for WWE, underscored by its $5 billion deal with the platform, promising innovative and boundary-pushing entertainment for fans.
