The crowd erupts as the music of Cody Rhodes hits. The “American Nightmare” walks onto the stage, donning a custom Netflix-inspired jacket. The camera captures the sea of fans cheering, with several holding up signs like “Welcome to Netflix, WWE!” and “Cody = Ratings.” Cody soaks it in, pointing to the crowd before making his way down the ramp.
Cody enters the ring, mic in hand, as the lights dim, leaving a single spotlight on him.
Cody Rhodes:“Tonight marks a historic moment in WWE history. A new home. A new era. And it’s only fitting that the American Nightmare kicks things off in style!”
The crowd roars as Cody pauses, letting the energy build.
Cody Rhodes:“Raw on Netflix… it’s not just a tagline—it’s a promise. A promise to every single one of you that WWE will be bigger, badder, and better than ever. And trust me, I’ve got plans to make sure 2025 is the year of the American Nightmare!”
Suddenly, Cody is interrupted by the iconic theme of The Rock, and the crowd goes absolutely insane. The arena shakes with cheers as The Rock walks out, wearing a custom suit and sunglasses. He takes his time on the stage, soaking in the adoration before heading to the ring, microphone in hand.
The Rock:“Finally… The Rock has come back to Monday Night Raw!”
The fans chant “Rocky! Rocky!” as he smirks and continues.
The Rock:“Now, Cody, The Rock knows you’re supposed to be over on SmackDown, but hey, it’s not every day you get to witness history. And speaking of history, let The Rock drop a bombshell on you, on these fans, and on the entire WWE Universe.”
Cody raises an eyebrow, intrigued, as The Rock pauses for dramatic effect.
The Rock:“As of this morning, The Rock officially owns 50% of WWE!”
The crowd erupts in shock and excitement. Cody looks stunned, mouthing, “Wow,” as The Rock grins.
The Rock:“And as The Rock’s first act as co-owner, let’s make history right here, right now. Cody Rhodes, tonight, you’re going one-on-one with The Great One! That’s right, The Rock versus Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship in the main event of the first-ever Monday Night Raw on Netflix!”
The fans explode into cheers, and Cody smirks, nodding his head.
Cody Rhodes:“You know what, Rock? Let’s make history.”
Michael Cole:“Oh my goodness, Pat! The Rock versus Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship tonight?! What a blockbuster announcement!”
Pat McAfee:“Cole, this isn’t just a new era—this is an era where dreams come true and legends collide! I’ve got goosebumps already!” |

Last Woman Standing Match
Women's World Championship
Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley
The bell rings, and the two women immediately engage in a vicious stare-off before locking up. The crowd is electric, sensing the intensity of the rivalry. Liv Morgan, the more agile of the two, takes the initiative, using her speed to outmaneuver Ripley early on. She nails a series of strikes, stunning Rhea, but Ripley quickly retaliates with a brutal knee to the midsection, knocking Liv down to the mat.
Ripley smirks as she begins to dominate the match, delivering powerful body slams and crushing forearm strikes. Liv fights back with rapid strikes to the legs, trying to weaken Ripley’s base, but Ripley shrugs her off and delivers a vicious shoulder tackle that sends Liv tumbling to the outside.
As the match spills to the outside, Ripley takes control, slamming Liv into the steel barricade, and then wrapping her around the steel steps. Ripley grabs a kendo stick from under the ring, and the crowd roars as she swings it at Liv, but Morgan dodges and counters with a superkick to the knee, sending Ripley down to the mat.
Liv looks around the ringside area, eyes filled with determination, and she finds a table. She sets it up in the corner, hoping to use it as a weapon. However, Ripley has other plans and pulls Liv onto the apron, hitting her with a massive Riptide that sends Liv crashing into the steel steps! The referee begins his count as Liv struggles to get up.
At the 7-count, Liv is barely on her feet, but Ripley quickly grabs a steel chair, placing it in the center of the ring. She looks at Liv with a sick smile, taunting her to get up. Liv crawls toward her, and Ripley swings the chair down on Liv’s back with a brutal crash. The crowd boos as Ripley delivers another devastating chair shot.
Ripley then places Liv on the table set up earlier, climbing to the second rope. She sets up for a big dive, but Liv shows incredible resilience, rolling off the table and forcing Ripley to crash through it herself! The crowd erupts as both women lay wrecked among the debris, neither moving.
At the count of 6, Ripley manages to rise to her feet, holding onto the ropes for support, but Liv is already on her way to standing, despite being badly battered. The two women trade blows in the center of the ring, with Liv hitting a series of elbows and kicks, trying to gain momentum. Ripley nails a huge headbutt that staggers Liv, but Morgan counters with a missile dropkick from the top rope, knocking Ripley back into the ropes.
The crowd is on their feet as both women struggle to get to their feet before the 10-count. Liv grabs a steel chain and wraps it around her fist, blasting Ripley with a punch to the face. Ripley stumbles backward, but refuses to fall. She snarls and shoves Liv into the corner, where she sets her up for a superplex. Liv struggles but counters, tossing Ripley into the turnbuckle face-first.
In an incredible display of willpower, Liv hoists Ripley up onto the top turnbuckle, positioning her for a brutal, top-rope Superplex through the remaining table shards. Ripley crashes to the mat with an earth-shattering thud. The crowd goes wild as both women are down, struggling to even move.
With a monstrous effort, Ripley stirs and begins to get up at the 8-count, but Liv crawls over, rolling into position. At the count of 9, Ripley looks like she’s about to fall, but she grabs the ring ropes for support. Before she can fully rise, Liv charges, delivering a massive forearm, but Ripley quickly counters, sending Liv crashing into the announcer table.
With both women barely able to stand, Ripley manages to catch Liv in the Riptide position. With one last powerful swing, she drives Liv through the announcer’s table with a devastating Riptide! The crowd roars as the referee begins his count, but Liv doesn’t stir.
Referee: "1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!"
Winner: Rhea Ripley (new Women's World Champion)
The crowd erupts as Rhea Ripley stands tall, victorious, her body battered and bruised but having proven herself the superior competitor in this war. Ripley stands over Liv, raising the Women's World Championship high in the air as the crowd cheers her on.
Michael Cole: "What a brutal, jaw-dropping contest between two of the toughest women in WWE! And we have a new Women's World Champion—Rhea Ripley is your new champion, Pat!"
Pat McAfee: "Cole, that was an absolute war! Rhea Ripley just sent a message to the entire division tonight. She is the new face of the women’s division!"
Dominik Mysterio comes into the ring, and tries to hug Mami! Rhea connects with a low-blow, and a Riptide for good measure!

The camera cuts back from commercial to the crowd, and suddenly, the iconic "The Time is Now" theme hits! The arena erupts with excitement as John Cena steps out on the stage, wearing his classic "Never Give Up" cap and a black t-shirt with his face on it. He pauses on the stage, taking in the adoration of the fans, before confidently striding down the ramp. Cena slides into the ring and grabs a microphone. He stands there for a moment, surveying the crowd, as they chant "CENA! CENA!"
John Cena:
"Thank you, thank you... you guys are the real reason I’ve been able to do this for as long as I have. But tonight… I’ve got something on my chest I need to say. I’ve been doing this for a long time. I’ve had highs, I’ve had lows. I’ve faced legends, future Hall of Famers, and people that I’d never thought I’d step in the ring with. And for the past few years, I’ve been reflecting on all of it. Looking back at everything I’ve done. Everything I’ve accomplished."
The crowd quiets slightly, sensing the tone in John’s voice.
John Cena:
"But here’s the thing, folks. It’s been... rough. I haven’t won a match in over five years. Five years! I know you all remember that John Cena, the guy who would fight for this company every single night. The guy who would go out there, break down barriers, and never quit. But I have to be real with you… I’ve been questioning myself. And I think... maybe, just maybe, I don’t have it anymore. I don’t have the fire, the passion... the drive to be the top guy like I used to."
The crowd reacts, some murmuring, others urging John to keep going. Cena shakes his head, as if coming to terms with something.
John Cena:
"But then I look at you all. And I see what this company means. What you mean. I look at the WWE Universe, the same people who have stood by me, cheered for me, booed me, loved me… And I realize something. Maybe, just maybe, I can still give you all something. Maybe the old John Cena isn’t completely gone. Maybe, just maybe… I’ve got one more run in me."
Cena paces the ring, pausing to look around, his voice filled with emotion.
John Cena:
"I’m not gonna sit here and pretend like I haven’t thought about it. The thought of retiring... of walking away. It’s been on my mind. But I want to go out on my terms. I want to give you the best of me, just like I did in those years past. So here’s what I’m saying to you all, and to everyone backstage… In 2025, I’m going on a retirement tour. And I’m not just gonna sit back and be a spectator. I’ve got unfinished business. The question I’ve been asking myself? Can the old John Cena come back for one more ride? Can he do it?"
The crowd roars, some chanting "YES!" while others cheer with excitement. Cena raises his hand to silence them.
John Cena:
"So, I’m officially announcing that I will be entering the 2025 Royal Rumble. I’m throwing my hat in the ring. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll win that third Royal Rumble. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll main event another WrestleMania. Maybe, just maybe… I will break Ric Flair’s record. You know why? Because this is the last ride. This is for the fans, for the people who supported me through it all, and for everyone who believes that there’s still a little fire left in the old guy."
Cena looks around the arena, his voice growing louder, with passion and determination.
John Cena:
"So mark my words... I’m back. I’m in the Royal Rumble. And I’m not leaving without giving it everything I’ve got. And when I’m standing tall at the end of the night, I want every single one of you to know... this isn’t just about winning. It’s about proving that when you never give up, when you believe in yourself... anything is possible."
The crowd erupts, chanting "NEVER GIVE UP!" Cena looks emotional as he takes a moment to reflect, raising his hand in the air with his signature salute.
John Cena:
"One last ride... And it starts at the Royal Rumble."
With the crowd still roaring, Cena drops the microphone and raises his arms in victory, as his theme music hits again. The camera cuts to the fans cheering wildly as Cena exits the ring, giving one final salute before walking up the ramp. |

Tribal Combat Match
Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa
The arena buzzes with anticipation as the Tribal Combat Match is about to begin. Solo Sikoa makes his entrance, wearing a symbolic red lei around his neck, a nod to the Samoan heritage. Roman Reigns follows, walking down with his usual stoic confidence, but the tension between the two is palpable.
Before the match begins, Solo removes the red lei and hands it to Paul Heyman at ringside, a gesture that signifies the importance of the battle. Paul cradles the lei reverently, visibly nervous about what is to come.
The bell rings, and the fight explodes immediately with Solo charging at Roman, landing heavy punches that stagger the Tribal Chief. Roman fights back with measured strikes, the two trading blow after blow, each trying to assert dominance.
Solo takes early control, using his raw power to slam Roman with a Samoan drop. He rolls out of the ring and grabs a kendo stick, returning to smash it across Roman’s back. Roman writhes in pain but counters with a Superman Punch that momentarily halts Solo’s momentum.
Weapons quickly become the centerpiece of the battle. Chairs, kendo sticks, and even a table are introduced. Solo smashes Roman into the steel steps outside the ring and slams his head into the announcer’s table, causing Roman to bleed after a brutal trash can lid shot.
Roman, bloodied but undeterred, finds his opening and drives Solo through a table in the corner with a devastating powerbomb. The crowd is on its feet as the brutal nature of the match takes its toll on both men.
Suddenly, chaos ensues as Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga charge down the ramp, drawing massive boos from the crowd. The two men storm the ring and begin pummeling Roman, adding a new layer of danger to the match.
The boos turn to cheers when Jimmy Uso and Sami Zayn sprint down to even the odds! Jimmy and Sami take out Fatu and Tonga with a series of superkicks and high-flying moves, creating absolute bedlam both inside and outside the ring.
Back in the ring, Solo attempts to capitalize on the chaos by setting up Roman for the Samoan Spike. Roman dodges at the last second, counters, and connects with a thunderous Spear that nearly breaks Solo in half! The crowd roars as Roman collapses on top of Solo for the pin:
1... 2... 3!
Roman Reigns wins the Tribal Combat Match.
Solo rolls out of the ring, clutching his ribs, while Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga retreat up the ramp. Jimmy Uso and Sami Zayn enter the ring to check on Roman, standing beside him as the Tribal Chief struggles to his feet, drenched in blood.
Paul Heyman enters the ring with tears in his eyes, holding the red lei and the Ula Fala—a traditional symbol of Samoan leadership and power. He kneels before Roman, glowing with admiration, and places the Ula Fala around Roman’s neck.
The crowd watches in awe as Roman, now adorned with the sacred Ula Fala, raises his hands high. The bloodied and battered Tribal Chief has reclaimed his throne in this brutal war, with his allies standing tall by his side.
The visual of Roman Reigns wearing the Ula Fala as he stares into the camera, blood dripping down his face, solidifies his dominance. The battle is over, but the Tribal Chief’s reign continues. |

Cody nods, visibly excited. “Well, you’re in the right place. You’re gonna kill it here, I just know it. Let’s catch up later—maybe after the show.”
