What CM Punk Expects When Raw Moves to Netflix
In addition to his in-ring aspirations, Punk commented on WWE Raw’s upcoming move to Netflix in January 2025. He downplayed the likelihood of significant changes to the show’s content, emphasizing that it will largely stay the same.
While nostalgia is powerful, many fans are advocating for a more edgy product in the hopes of recapturing the magic of the R-Rated Attitude Era. However, Punk warned that fans anticipating a return to mature content—such as excessive profanity or lingerie pillow fights—will be disappointed. Reflecting on the Attitude Era, he pointed out that pushing boundaries often resulted in unsustainable, lower-quality programming over time.
WWE Hell in a Cell takes place next Saturday, October 5 from Atlanta, GA at the State Farm Arena. The premium live event will stream live on Peacock.
