WWE Taking Strategic Approach to Superstar Returns on RAW’s Netflix Debut

With Monday Night Raw debuting on Netflix tonight, fans have been quesitoning about potential superstar returns. Names like Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss have been heavily speculated, but WWE has set the record straight on how they’re handling returns.

According to a company source via PWInsuder, WWE has a deliberate approach in place for anyone making their comeback. “This isn’t the old WWE,” a source commented, emphasizing that the company doesn’t plan to simply bring everyone back on the same night. Instead, each return will be carefully timed and woven into ongoing storylines to maximize impact.

While tonight’s episode promises surprises, WWE is making it clear that any returns will be part of a bigger strategy rather than a cluster of unexpected arrivals. This calculated approach aligns with the company’s focus on storytelling as it embarks on a new chapter with its Netflix partnership.

Fans tuning in tonight can expect a stacked card featuring CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa in Tribal Combat, and appearances by John Cena and The Rock. While there may be surprises, it’s clear WWE is keeping its cards close to the chest when it comes to big returns.
