Roman Reigns will play a major role on WWE Raw beyond the first episode

As per earlier reports, the debut episode will feature top stars including the Undisputed WWE Champion and The OTC both of them are currently part of Friday Night SmackDown. The reports indicated that Rhodes and Reigns will only appear in the debut episode and will go back to the Blue brand after that.

However, as per recent reports from WrestleVotes Radio, the streaming giant recognizes the star power behind The OTC and they want Reigns‘ involvement beyond the debut episode in the Red brand.

“We are told the plans as of now, we’ll see Roman Reigns featured on Monday Night Raw and Netflix more so than SmackDown for at least the beginning part of the calendar year. We don’t have confirmation on any official roster move. However, there are plans for WWE’s biggest Raw to be a part of Raw on Netflix, much past episode number one.”

“Okay, so a source added that Netflix knows exactly what Roman Reigns brings to the table as far as viewership and credibility, and they are all for it. So Roman Reigns will be a key part of Monday Night Raw past episode number one throughout the Royal Rumble, you know, and I would imagine all throughout the WrestleMania season.”

The reports suggest that The OTC will be featured on the Red brand more so than SmackDown at the beginning of the year. However, there is no official confirmation as of now for any shuffle in the roster.
