WWE has been gearing up to make Raw’s debut on Netflix a grand spectacle. With many megastars already expected on the show, WWE has been preparing to extend the list with a few more big names. Recently, Triple H joined Travis Scott at Complex Con to make a huge announcement about the first ever episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix in January.
The WWE CCO took over the stage with Travis Scott to invite him to the Raw’s debut on Netflix. He went on to announce that the Grammy-nominated artist is going to be live in person for the show. Additionally, The Game confirmed that WWE is going to take over the Intuit Dome in California to present the greatest episode of Raw in history.
The King of Kings also gifted a custom WWE Hardcore Championship to Scott as a sign of a future partnership. Although it is not yet confirmed what is going to be the role of the rapper at the show, a potential announcement regarding future collaboration could be expected. Also, WWE is heavily using his hit track “FIEN” in the promotional packages for WrestleMania 41.
