A new report provides an update on which brand Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns will be on when WWE RAW premieres on Netflix.
On November 18, WWE confirmed that the RAW on Netflix premiere will be held at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. WWE has been expected to load up the show. Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and other stars are already being advertised. This led some fans to speculate that Rhodes and Reigns would be moving to RAW due to the Netflix move.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider dismissed this rumor. He wrote that Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes were not leaving SmackDown to go to RAW. He noted that WWE aimed to do everything they could to make the Netflix premiere as important as possible and to maximize the amount of eyes on it.
Triple H On WWE Moving To Netflix
At the WWE Bad Blood post-show press conference, Triple H commented on WWE moving to Netflix and the production changes they would make.
“So here’s the cool thing about what we do. It’s slightly different from a lot of other sports” Triple H said. “In other sports, someone like Netflix picks them up, and someone else has to produce that content because the sport itself doesn’t produce it. But with us? We are turnkey, we do everything ourselves. We create the product, and then we deliver it. They turn on the signal, and we send it out. That’s one of the great things about WWE. Not everybody’s in that position.”
“I think Netflix gives us this incredible canvas to paint on. We’re looking to paint a masterpiece like we’ve never done before. But it’s still us doing it. It’s going to be WWE in all its glory, just with the volume turned up. We’ve never had an opportunity quite like this before, and now with Netflix, we can hit all of the U.S. with RAW, but also reach 80% of the globe with SmackDown, NXT, and all the Premium Live Events (PLEs), starting January 6th.”
“We were already strong in a lot of place. But with Netflix, it goes to another level.”
