When and where is the Raw Netflix premiere taking place?
At the Bash in Berlin post show, Cody Rhodes revealed that WWE Raw’s Netflix debut date will be January 06, 2024. Now a backstage report from WrestleVotes confirmed the date and revealed the potential venue of the premiere. WrestlingVotes revealed that the first show of WWE Raw on Netflix will be held at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California, United States on January 6, 2024.
This will mark an end to WWE Raw’s 31 years journey from linear television for the very first time. There is a huge hype from the WWE fans and within the company as most of them expect more edgier content on the OTT platform.
The Intuite Dome is a big indoor multi-purpose arena, which primarily hosts basketball matches. It has a capacity to occupy more than 20,000 fans at the same time. This sets a huge expectation for the show and it is expected to be a pay-per-view worthy event.
