36-year-old superstar to win her first singles title in 9 years at RAW on Netflix? Exploring the chances
On January 6, 2025, the WWE Universe is in for a treat with RAW on Netflix. The date marks WWE's official move from linear cable television to digital streaming, and everyone is excited. Some big matches have already been scheduled for the night, but there could be more in store. In fact, a 36-year-old superstar could win her first singles title in nine years on the show.
The 36-year-old star in question has seen championship success in WWE, but not as a singles star. With nine years under her belt at the Stamford-based promotion, Dakota Kai could be gunning for her first singles title at RAW on Netflix. The New Zealander is currently competing in the Women's Intercontinental Championship tournament and is one of the favorites.
With 2024 winding up, the next couple of red brand episodes should see the Women's IC Championship tournament quickly progress. As of now, the Damage CTRL star, Zoey Stark and Lyra Valkyria have made it to the semi-finals. There is still a preliminary match to be held, but the favorites, as of this writing, are undoubtedly Kai and Valkyria.
Valkyria is a top talent and a former NXT Women's Champion, but Kai seems to want it more. She has been hyped up heavily over the last few weeks, and seeing her win the title would be a feel-good moment. However, at this point, this is nothing more than speculation, and there is no telling what's in store for RAW on Netflix.
Triple H has booked two blockbuster matches for RAW on Netflix
The potential finale of the Women's Intercontinental Championship aside, as mentioned earlier, RAW on Netflix promises to be a great show. Triple H and co. are going all out for the event, and treating it almost like a PLE. As a result, expectations are high and fans are looking forward to watching several blockbuster matches.
Well, over the last few days, two such blockbuster matches have already been revealed. First, on SmackDown, the Original Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns challenged Solo Sikoa to a Tribal Combat match for the Ula Fala. Secondly, the animosity between Seth Rollins and CM Punk will finally be sorted out in the middle of the ring.
Both these matches are sure to get the crowd on their feet, and if it isn't enough, there will definitely be more to come. Safe to say, fans will be counting down the days to January 6, 2025.
