Seth Rollins: WWE on Netflix is ‘the biggest step forward’ in history of our industry
Seth Rollins believes WWE Raw coming to Netflix is the “biggest step forward” the pro wrestling industry has ever taken.
Rollins — a huge Chicago Bears fan — was a guest on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football on Friday. Along with discussing the state of the Bears, he promoted Raw coming to Netflix ahead of Monday’s premiere episode. Rollins said he’s really excited about the move to Netflix and believes it’s huge for the future of pro wrestling.
“It’s huge,” Rollins said before hyping the card for Raw’s Netflix debut. “It’s going to be huge. This is without a doubt the biggest step forward in the history of our industry — that’s not an understatement. We’re off cable for the first time in 30 years, going to streaming, the biggest streaming network on the planet. It’s going to be incredible. I’m really excited about this. This is — for the future of our industry, this is as big as it gets.”
The Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California is hosting Raw’s Netflix premiere this coming Monday (January 6). A grudge match between Rollins and CM Punk is headlining the episode. In addition to that, Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa will face off in a Tribal Combat match, Liv Morgan defends the Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley, and John Cena begins his retirement tour.
Raw ended its run on USA Network earlier this week. WWE will still have a presence on USA Network with SmackDown, which moves to a three-hour show starting tonight.
