WWE's 'Monday Night Raw' premiered on Netflix, marking a significant shift from its previous home on NBCUniversal’s USA Network. This transition is part of a 10-year, $5 billion deal with Netflix, allowing WWE to reach a broader, international audience. The debut episode was a spectacle, featuring fewer commercial breaks and more uninterrupted content, especially for international viewers. "We want to make this show the spectacle, the level that we feel like it should be on a new platform like Netflix," said Brian Fadem, VP and line producer at WWE. The event was held at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, a venue that provided state-of-the-art technology, including drones for unique camera angles and coverage by the Goodyear Blimp [1].

The Netflix debut of 'Monday Night Raw' featured a lineup of high-profile matches and appearances by wrestling icons. Roman Reigns faced Solo Sikoa in a chaotic 'Tribal Combat' match, with Reigns ultimately emerging victorious. CM Punk and Seth Rollins clashed in a highly anticipated match, with Punk securing a hard-fought victory. The event also featured appearances by The Rock, who presented Reigns with the ula fala, and John Cena, who announced his entry into the Royal Rumble as part of his farewell tour. Other notable appearances included Logan Paul, Cody Rhodes, and rapper Travis Scott, who performed the new theme song for WWE 'Raw' [2].

The debut of 'Raw' on Netflix showcased WWE's commitment to enhancing the viewing experience through innovative production techniques. This included the use of drones for unique shots of WWE talent and backstage content, as well as a point-to-point sky cam system and techno crane for intimate in-ring shots. The event also featured the most brands ever on the ring mat for any WWE event, with Hulk Hogan’s Real American Beer signing a multiyear partnership for ring mat corner branding. Long-time partners Epic Games and Cricket made their debut on the mat, while Snickers returned as the presenting partner of 'Raw' [3].
