WWE held a special Raw on Netflix kick-off event last night

The Stamford-based promotion last night held a special Raw on Netflix kick-off event at their Stamford headquarters. The event was live-streamed on their official YouTube channel and featured top stars from the Red brand.

The flagship program is slated to make its Netflix debut on January 6, 2025, with a live broadcast from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. Three high-stakes matches have already been announced for the debut show.

CM Punk, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Solo Sikoa, Logan Paul, Gunther, and more superstars appeared during the Raw kick-off show.

WWE released a promotional poster that featured CM Punk & Liv Morgan

Ahead of the debut, the Stamford-based promotion released a new official promotional poster for WWE on Netflix. The poster featured Cody Rhodes and Bianca Belair in the SmackDown poster, Trick Williams and Roxxane Perez in the NXT brand poster.

However, the Raw poster was the one that raised eyebrows in the fandom as Liv Morgan was featured alongside CM Punk, who does not currently hold any title in the promotion, unlike the SmackDown and NXT posters.

However, many fans felt that Gunther, the current World Heavyweight Champion, should have been featured on the poster, as he is widely regarded as the face of the Red brand.

With the Red brand set to premiere on Netflix, a pressing question emerges: who will be the face of the Red brand? The promotion has now provided clarity on this matter during the kickoff show.

During the kickoff show, Michael Cole announced that ‘The Ring General’ Gunther would remain as the face of the Red brand after the move.

“He’s going to be the face of this program on Netflix, he is our World Heavyweight Champion, GUNTHER!” Cole stated. Michael Cole was joined by WWE’s COO Triple H and General Manager Adam Pearce during the announcement.

The promotion also teased a potential clash between the Ring General and Logan Paul who made his return during the kickoff show. Logan stated his intentions to fight for the World Heavyweight title during his appearance which irked the champion as he promised to wipe the smirk off Paul’s face.
