When will The Rock turn on Roman Reigns to set up WrestleMania 41 match?

The Rock made his return to WWE television on the debut episode of Raw on Netflix, and while he didn't have a whole of interesting things to SAY on the mic, other than show some respect to the two men he traded barbs with last year (Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns), he DID something quite intriguing, even if it was expected. If The Rock is going to show up on WWE television these days, then it had better mean something. And The Rock didn't just give WWE some extra rub to a more mainstream crowd perusing the show on their nightly Netflix plunge; he subtly sowed the seeds of a future turn on his cousin, Roman. Reigns vs. Rock has been rumored for years, pretty much ever since Reigns turned heel and started his journey as the Tribal Chief. Last year, The Rock returned to regular WWE progra...

When is Becky Lynch returning to WWE?

WWE pulled out all the stops for their streaming debut on Netflix to mark a new era in the company's presentation. Well, they pulled out all the stops except one of their biggest. Even as fans relished the return of John Cena - and booed Hulk Hogan out of the building while shrugging off the Undertaker - they sorely missed the rumored return of Becky Lynch. The seven-time world champion has been out for more than six months after rumors that her contract expired on June 1, and she hasn't been seen since. There's been rampant speculation about her future, including rumblings that she has signed a new contract already under the table. If that was the case, then WWE held off on returning Becky Lynch on their Netflix debut and are saving her for a later date, if, again, we assume that...

Is John Cena winning WWE Royal Rumble 2025?

John Cena made his highly-anticipated return to WWE programming on Monday, Jan. 6 in the company's debut episode of the flagship show Raw on Netflix, ushering in a new era in the streaming age. From Cena's perspective, the biggest part of his nostalgia, he-very-much-still-has-it promo was the announcement that not only will he compete at WWE Royal Rumble 2025 later this month in Indianapolis, but that he will WIN the Royal Rumble match. Cena has won the Rumble twice in his career, including in 2008 with one of the greatest returns in pro wrestling history. Whether it was truly a "surprise" return is still up for debate, but the pop he received was beyond thunderous. After a decade of being the hated top babyface, Cena is now even more beloved than he was in the 2000s, with fans in...

WWE Raw on Netflix Debut: Grades and Analysis

From Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa to CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins, the big headliners hit their mark leading to high marks for WWE in their debut episode of Raw on Netflix. Here are the full grades and analysis. The Rock kicks things off A pretty noneventful introduction, but if you were watching it in real time, it never gets old seeing The Rock do his schtick, get a pop, and try to put over the new generation of greats. Hearing Rock praise Cody Rhodes was especially sweet, even it was canned, given their history last year and seemingly very real rivalry behind the scenes after the People's Champ turned "shoot" heel by trying to take the WrestleMania main event for himself. Totally skippable the day after but pretty cool live. Grade: C Roman Reigns becomes the only true Tribal Chie...
