I'm skipping the first few Raw Netflixes as its going to be a cluster**** on who is going to be on the show focusing more grabbing an audience than actually putting on a show. The Womens Intercontinental Final was recently pushed back for this very reason.
Once the rosters of Raw and Smackdown finally settle down and they go back to moving the storylines in a consistent basis and less on clickbait then I'll start watching.

Just seen last night's show on YouTube, firstly there was a guy in the comments who posted timestamps of every time the show came back from a commercial break, so you did have to skip yourself, GOD BLESS THAT MAN!
On to the show and Tiffany Stratton is the new women's Champion after she cashed in her MITB contract! She cashed in on Nia Jax after she helped Nia beat Naomi in her title defense but that was all a ruse as she then attacked her and Candice, Bianca Belair provided an assist as she hit the KOD on Jax before Tiffany cashed in and hit the prettiest moon-sault ever to become new champ and the place went nuts! Congrats to Tiffy and shoutout to Nia who had a great title reign and she is much improved from a few years ago when she had that reputation of injuring everyone.
The Bloodline beat Sami Zayn and the Usos in the main event, we saw Paul Heyman give a promo and was interrupted by Solo who said that when he beats Roman on Monday Solo will have Paul as his wiseman and Roman will acknowledge him, DIY v MCMG tag title match went to a DQ after LDF and Pretty Deadly got involved, Nakamura beat Andrade and Michin beat Piper Niven, here was something with Cody Kevin and Drew McIntyre at the start of the show but it wasn't much really.
Couple of other things from last night is that the ring mat was blue and they have swapped ring announcers so Lilian Garcia is now on Smackdown with Alicia Taylor moving to Raw.
There was some potentially bad news last night, it was reported that the 2026 Royal Rumble will be in Saudi Arabia, I really hope not!

I tried to watch it all this weekend and it just solidified my feeling that anything over 2 hours should be reserved for the "premium live events" or whatever they want to call them. It's too much for a weekly show. At least Netflix is quite user friendly so I can just skip through Raw & Smackdown going forward (there's no chance I can watch them live with the UK broadcast times).

There was a time I would agree but Raw and Smackdown since the past year convinced me 3 Hours should be the standard to aim for as the issue is the writing, not the length. If you weren't involved in the Bloodline storyline on Smackdown you struggle hard on screentime (and if you are in the storyline, youre just a jobber so its lose-lose for non-Somoans), there just isnt enough time when over 30 minutes is about the same storyline that isn't changine anytime soon. Which has led to a pretty horrific long term effect on credible or interesting challengers to Cody Rhodes since its either the Bloodline again or their scraps that either had no screentime or were made like fools. Meanwhile Raw had a lot of storylines going for it utilising the 3 Hours that was far more engaging to keep up with.
Although speaking of solidifying been watching old Elimination Chamber matches thanks to Netflix and that Solidify my opinion that the biggest match tragedy wasnt Hell in a Cell getting a yearly scheduled PPV, it was Elimination Chamber especially having it before Wrestlemania. It used to be the Authority Figures last resort to a chaotic almost unresolvable dispute with a lot of who and what elements and interconnected storylines merging together. Now its a forgettable formality, either to build up the Champion by having them retain anyway or just a lazy way to find the challenger for the title that isn't picked by the Rumble winner, its so washed out. The last time a February Elimination Chamber was any good was all the way back in 2009 when they used to 2 matches to play into Edges character. We don't get stuff like that anymore.

Here is currently what's advertised for the first ever Raw on Netflix show tonight.
John Cena starts his farewell year.
The Rock appearance.
Logan Paul appearance.
Liv Morgan v Rhea Ripley-Women's World title match.
Jey Uso v Drew McIntyre.
Roman Reigns v Solo Sikoa-Tribal Combat match for the Ula Fala & to determine the true Tribal Chief.
Seth Rollins v CM Punk
I think that's it, Michael Cole and Pat McAfee should be the commentators, no idea what he run time will be as its flexible.
I will be staying up a little bit to watch the first hour at least.
