The highly anticipated Netflix premiere of WWE Raw is set to take place on January 6, 2025, at the brand-new Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Adding to the excitement, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson confirmed on Sunday that he will be appearing on the show.
According to PWInsider.com’s Mike Johnson, WWE Hall of Famers Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels are also scheduled to make appearances. While a smoking skull design was spotted during a promotional drone show in Los Angeles—teasing a connection to Steve Austin—Johnson noted that Austin is not currently slated to be at the event.
Dr. Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda.com shared further details via Twitter/X regarding the involvement of WWE legends:
“The Rock’s involvement on the show is that he will be cutting a promo. Hulk Hogan is scheduled to appear, he will be cutting a promo as well. John Cena will also be appearing and cutting a promo to hype his farewell tour. Steve Austin was originally discussed to appear, but that has been scrapped. WWE is really focused on making this a PLE-quality show to kick off the partnership.”
With The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and John Cena all set to feature prominently, WWE is pulling out all the stops to make the Netflix debut a historic and star-studded event. Fans can expect an evening filled with iconic moments as WWE begins this new chapter.
