The Rock could make WWE return for RAW's Netflix premiere

The potential Netflix debut of WWE RAW on January 6 presents several compelling reasons for The Rock’s return to television. The Final Boss has been absent since his October 5 appearance at Bad Blood, where he had a notable confrontation with Roman Reigns.

Netflix has reportedly requested major star power for their debut episode, with The Rock joining names like Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and John Cena on the desired roster. The Rock’s position on TKO’s Board of Directors adds weight to his potential involvement in this historic broadcast.

The timing aligns with several developing storylines. The Rock’s unresolved issues with both WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns could set the stage for WrestleMania 41. At Bad Blood, The Rock warned Rhodes about future championship opportunities, while his staredown with Reigns left questions about his role in The Bloodline Civil War.

A January return would allow The Rock to establish his WrestleMania direction before the Royal Rumble 2025. Whether pursuing the WWE Championship or settling family business with Reigns, RAW’s streaming platform debut could mark the beginning of The Final Boss’s road to Las Vegas.
