WWE RAW’s Netflix Premiere Match Card and Predictions

As of this writing, four matches are set for tonight’s WWE RAW, along with several high-profile appearances. Stars like John Cena, The Rock, and Logan Paul have confirmed appearances, while it’s rumored that Hulk Hogan will also be present.

Liv Morgan (C) vs. Rhea Ripley: Women’s World Championship

The heated rivalry between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley will continue tonight for the Women’s World Championship. This will mark the third time both women will lock horns in a singles match in their current feud, with the previous two ending with interferences, the first in favor of Liv Morgan (via pinfall) at SummerSlam due to Dirty Dom’s interference, and the other in favor of Rhea Ripley (via DQ) courtesy of Raquel Rodriguez getting caught by the referee.

Tonight on WWE RAW, it will be interesting to see if Mami regains the title.

Prediction: Liv Morgan will retain the Women’s World Championship.

Drew McIntyre vs. Jey Uso

Drew McIntyre has been focused on eliminating those who aligned themselves with Roman Reigns in recent months. He first attacked Jey Uso backstage on RAW, and then Sami Zayn and Jimmy Uso.

The Scottish Warrior has already defeated The Underdog from The Underground in a singles match, and now he is planning to do the same when he faces The YEET Master tonight. And he will likely be successful in his pursuit.

Prediction: Drew McIntyre will defeat Jey Uso.

Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa: Tribal Combat match

Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa have been feuding since SummerSlam after the latter took over The Bloodline and declared himself the Tribal Chief in the OTC’s absence post-WrestleMania XL. Tonight on WWE RAW, it will be determined who is the one and only Tribal Chief and owner of the Ula Fala.

Solo has outsmarted Roman and the rest of the OG Bloodline in the past. This means that Reigns may already be prepared for his former Enforcer’s possible shenanigans tonight.

Prediction: Roman Reigns will win the Tribal Combat and regain the Ula Fala.

Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk

Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk is what many consider to be the main event, as it is one of the most long-awaited matches in the company’s history. Both men expressed their dislike for each other even before The Second City Saint returned to WWE in 2023, and they haven’t stopped attacking each other in any form on WWE RAW.

Prediction: The Visionary will defeat The Best in The World.
