WWE’s top brass is pulling out all the stops to make a grand impression for the brand’s debut on Netflix, slated for January 6. The anticipation is palpable as fans eagerly await the highly anticipated show, which will feature a mix of big names and surprises. Among the confirmed legends to appear on the show are none other than John Cena and The Rock, who will undoubtedly bring their signature charm and talent to the stage. Their appearances on the Netflix show are set to be a nostalgic treat for fans, who are looking forward to seeing these wrestling icons in action.

According to WrestleVotes, it’s not just John Cena and The Rock who are scheduled to appear on the show. Other legends who have a healthy deal with the company and are physically able to attend the event can be expected to make an appearance. This opens up the possibility of seeing a whole host of familiar faces, from the likes of Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair to Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio. The reasoning behind this statement is that any WWE legend who has a deal with the company and is physically able to attend the event can be expected to be there, making it a veritable who’s who of wrestling legends.

John Cena, the 16-time world champion, is set to kick off his retirement tour in January after announcing his retirement at Money in the Bank 2024. His retirement tour promises to be a nostalgic and emotive journey for fans, as he reflects on his storied career and bid farewell to the ring. The question on everyone’s mind is, which other legends will make it to RAW’s Netflix debut? Will we see the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels, who have recently been confirmed to appear on the show?

The Rock, on the other hand, hasn’t been seen on WWE television since Bad Blood 2024, where he made a brief appearance to engage in a staring contest with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns after they defeated Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. His last appearance on WWE television might have been a brief one, but it’s clear that the Rock’s popularity has endured, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return. His reputation as the People’s Champion precedes him, and his presence on the Netflix show is set to be a major draw.

The impending arrival of WWE on Netflix is a significant development, marking a new chapter in the company’s history. With the likes of John Cena and The Rock confirmed to appear on the show, fans are in for a real treat. The question is, will other legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels also make an appearance? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – WWE’s Netflix debut is shaping up to be a spectacle like no other. As fans eagerly anticipate the show, they can expect a night filled with excitement, nostalgia, and sheer entertainment.
