5. Goldberg

Goldberg could make his return in the highly anticipated debut episode, capitalizing on the spotlight to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and settle their differences in the ring. The showdown could set up a retirement match between the two.

The feud between the two started at the Bad Blood PLE when the World Heavyweight Champion called out the Hall of Famer, who was in the audience and insulted his family. This provoked Goldberg to jump the barricade, though he was quickly stopped before things could get physical.

The seven-time WWE Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch has been missed by WWE fans around the world. The Man has been absent from WWE programming since May this year. Lynch’s contract with the WWE expired in June and she has been enjoying life away from the spotlight.

However, as per recent reports, Lynch is close to an agreement with the WWE and can make her return in the debut episode of Raw on Netflix. The return of a star like Becky could revamp the women’s division setting up new feuds, intriguing storylines, and matches.

The Stamford-based promotion has announced three exciting matches for the debut episode. Liv Morgan will defend her Women’s World Title against Rhea Ripley, while CM Punk and Seth Rollins will clash in a heated grudge match.

Additionally, Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa will face off in a Tribal Combat match, with the sacred Ula Fala on the line.
