Netflix is making waves in the wrestling world with its recent deal to stream WWE’s Monday Night Raw, pay-per-views, and original content starting in January 2025. The streaming giant has specified an intriguing condition: Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes must be featured on their version of RAW. This move aligns with a larger plan, potentially setting up a major showdown at WrestleMania 41.
The Rock’s Role at WrestleMania 41
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Reports indicate that the chosen star, either Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes, will face none other than The Rock at WrestleMania 41. The Rock’s involvement is a significant part of Netflix’s collaboration with WWE. He could appear more frequently on Monday Night Raw, enhancing the platform’s appeal to wrestling fans. This decision is yet to be finalized as both Reigns and Rhodes are currently part of the SmackDown roster.
Current Feuds and Upcoming Matches
Cody Rhodes, the WWE Undisputed Champion, is currently in a feud with the New Bloodline, consisting of Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tanga Loa. On the other hand, Roman Reigns has been absent since losing his championship at WrestleMania 40 but could make a dramatic return soon.
