Welcome to the Netflix era of WWE Monday Night Raw, where you’ll see Travis Scott smoking weed, Hulk Hogan (rightfully) getting booed, and sandwich commercials in between scenes of women beating each other up. Last night was the inaugural Netflix episode of Monday Night Raw, held at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, and the marks of the worldwide leader in streaming were unmistakable.
Announced a year ago, fans have been eagerly waiting to see what would be different about a television program that had been on cable for over 30 years. Would the wrestlers partake in a Squid Game challenge? Would Beyonce ride a horse into the middle of the ring for a halftime performance? Would The Rock cut a promo with the next Love Is Blind contestants? Thankfully, none of that happened, but these are the most Netflix-flavored moments from the debut of Monday Night Raw’s new era.
