The WWE returns to Netflix for their third episode of Monday Night Raw on the streaming giant. Last week's show calmed the fears of some fans over the heavily-commercial-laden debut, with subscribers at the no-ad tier getting to watch the action, still commentated, during what would be commercial breaks for the lower-priced tiers. As for the ring action, things continue to be loaded and star-studded, and this week's show looks to continue the momentum.
Last week's show started with a ring entrance by CM Punk being interrupted by Seth Rollins and then Drew McIntyre, leading to this week's main event, a battle between the last two. As the universe continues to revolve around Roman Reigns, the people vying for his spot at the top of the charts continues to play out. Last week also featured the debut of a new WWE superstar, Penta El Zero Miedo, who electrified the San Jose crowd. What's in store for this week with the latest Luchador?
There are bound to be a ton of Royal Rumble entry announcements, with less than two weeks until the first of the 2025 Big 4 PLEs, and with Saturday Night's Main Event scheduled for this coming weekend. There are only eight men confirmed so far out of the 30, and only one woman for their bracket. This should be a huge episode in terms of rounding out those fields from members of the red brand.
Here's what we know so far about Monday's episode.
Date: Monday, January 20, 2025
