The first Raw of 2025 will be extra special because it will be available on Netflix. WWE is working hard to make it a big success, and some famous stars will be on the show. John Cena will start his goodbye tour on Raw, and The Rock will also make an appearance.
But there was some confusion. WWE teased that “The Final Boss” would be part of the Netflix Raw debut, but they didn’t confirm it until the day before the show. Finally, WWE confirmed the appearance of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, which put an end to all the suspense.
The Final Boss has confirmed he will appear on WWE Raw’s Netflix debut. His last WWE appearance was at Bad Blood, where he teased a match against either Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes.
On Twitter, he shared his excitement, dedicating the show to his family and Samoan roots. He wrote a heartfelt message about his family’s legacy and how they paved the way for him. The Rock ended his post with:
Besides having my three daughters, my Samoan High Chief Title, High Chief Seiuli is one of the greatest honor of my life.
