  • WWE RAW Netflix Debut Draws Mixed Reactions (Ep.900)
    2025/01/09
    World Wrestling Entertainment's flagship show, Monday Night Raw, made its highly anticipated Netflix debut last night, marking a historic shift in the wrestling landscape. The move, aimed at reaching a broader audience, has generated considerable buzz, but initial reactions are mixed.

    The three-hour broadcast featured a blend of high-octane action and dramatic storylines. Roman Reigns retained his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a brutal "Tribal Combat" match against his cousin, Solo Sikoa. In a shocking upset, Rhea Ripley dethroned Liv Morgan to become the new Women's World Champion.

    However, some viewers expressed disappointment with the show's pacing and creative direction. Social media was abuzz with criticism over the outcome of the "main event," which saw Jey Uso defeat Drew McIntyre. Many felt that McIntyre, a former WWE Champion, was unfairly positioned in a losing effort.

    The Netflix debut also marked the beginning of John Cena's farewell tour. The 16-time world champion announced his intention to retire, setting the stage for an emotional journey culminating in what is expected to be his final match at WrestleMania. Cena kicked off his retirement tour with a victory over rising star Grayson Waller, proving he can still compete at the highest level.

    The partnership between WWE and Netflix represents a bold move to revitalize professional wrestling's appeal. Netflix's global reach offers WWE access to a massive new audience, potentially attracting casual viewers and lapsed fans. However, the streaming format presents challenges. WWE must adapt its storytelling approach to cater to binge-watching habits and compete with a vast library of on-demand entertainment.

    Early viewership data is not yet available, but industry analysts are closely monitoring the show's performance.

    The success of this venture could significantly impact the future of WWE and the broader world of sports entertainment.

    Whether WWE can successfully navigate this new chapter remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the Netflix debut of Raw has ushered in a new era of uncertainty and excitement for the world of professional wrestling.

  • WWE and Netflix: Raw Deal Marks Point of No Return (ep.899)
    2024/12/31
    WWE is taking a major leap into the future of entertainment by partnering with Netflix. Starting in 2025, the company's flagship show, WWE Raw, will be exclusively available on Netflix in the United States. This marks a historic shift, as it's the first time in Raw's 30+ year history that it will be leaving traditional television. This means American fans will need to subscribe to Netflix to catch all the action on Monday nights.

    However, this doesn't mean Netflix is becoming the sole destination for all things WWE in the US. For now, SmackDown and NXT will remain on their current channels, and Peacock will continue to be the streaming home for WWE's premium live events (like WrestleMania) and its extensive library of past content. So, while Raw is making the move, US fans will still need both Netflix and Peacock to get the complete WWE experience.

    International fans have it a bit simpler. Outside the US, Netflix will become the comprehensive streaming home for all WWE weekly shows (Raw, SmackDown, NXT), premium live events, and the vast archive of classic matches and moments. This deal gives WWE a massive global reach and exposes the product to millions of potential new fans.

    This partnership is a significant financial win for WWE, with reports indicating Netflix is paying around $500 million per year for the rights to Raw in the US. This substantial investment highlights the value WWE brings to the streaming world and underscores the growing importance of streaming platforms in the entertainment landscape.

    While Vince McMahon may not be directly calling the shots on WWE's creative direction anymore (Triple H now leads that charge), this move to Netflix still represents a bold step away from the traditional way of doing things. It's a clear indication that WWE is embracing the future of entertainment and looking to innovate in how it delivers its unique brand of sports entertainment to a global audience.

  • AEW World's End 2024 Wraps Up Year of Creative Collapse (ep.898)
    2024/12/29
    AEW World's End 2024 saw Kazuchika Okada crowned the first-ever AEW Continental Champion. Okada defeated Will Ospreay in the finals, after both men had already competed in grueling semi-final matches earlier in the night. Ospreay overcame Kyle Fletcher while Okada bested Ricochet to set up the dream match final. Okada was presented the belt by returning EVP Kenny Omega, who received a thunderous ovation from the crowd.

    In other championship action, Mariah May dethroned Thunder Rosa in a brutal Tijuana Street Fight to claim the AEW Women's World Championship. MJF retained his Dynamite Diamond Ring against Adam Cole but suffered a post-match beatdown at the hands of the Undisputed Elite and a returning Kyle O'Reilly. Konosuke Takeshita retained the AEW International Championship against Powerhouse Hobbs, and Mercedes Moné successfully defended the AEW TBS Championship against Kris Statlander.

    Jon Moxley retained the AEW World Championship in a Fatal Four Way match against Orange Cassidy, Hangman Page, and Jay White. After the match, the Death Riders were confronted by a returning Edge and FTR, setting the stage for a potential showdown between the two factions.

    Despite some exciting moments and strong in-ring action, AEW World's End 2024 failed to deliver the kind of impactful storytelling and satisfying conclusions that fans have come to expect from the promotion.

    The event felt somewhat disjointed and lacked a sense of urgency, reflecting a broader trend of creative inconsistency that has plagued AEW throughout the year. Many fans and critics alike have expressed disappointment with the booking decisions and lack of clear direction in recent months, leading to a sense of stagnation and missed opportunities.
