Next January 4 will mark two years since the beginning of the "Netflix Era" in WWE. And, just as it did for the first anniversary, the company is reportedly preparing a special edition of Monday Night Raw to celebrate the occasion. In fact, WWE considers this episode one of the most important shows of the year for the red brand, according to WrestleVotes Radio via Fightful Select.
"Some information has recently emerged from within the creative team suggesting that the January 4 edition of Monday Night Raw will hold special significance for WWE. The intention is to use the show to kick off the new year while also celebrating the beginning of Netflix's third year as Raw's broadcasting platform," Fightful Select wrote.
"According to information obtained by WrestleVotes Radio, WWE plans to heavily promote the episode during the final weeks of 2026, including the holiday season. The company is looking to kick off the new year with one of the most notable editions of Raw on the entire calendar. The same source notes that fans could enjoy one or two special matches for the occasion," the outlet reported.
"On another note, according to current plans, the November 23 edition of WWE Raw, which will take place in Kansas, will begin airing live on Netflix at 6:00 PM. This is because the company will once again hold a double taping to accommodate its Superstars ahead of Thanksgiving, which takes place later that same week," the report concluded.
The first anniversary of Monday Night Raw on Netflix, celebrated on January 5 of this year, featured a crossover episode with "Stranger Things", the streaming platform's popular series. The show included special staging and two championship changes. In the night's main event, CM Punk defeated Bron Breakker to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
