Netflix announces ‘Stranger Things Night’ for upcoming WWE Raw

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The January 5 episode of WWE Raw is officially being branded as “Stranger Things Night.”

On Christmas Day, Netflix released a new trailer hyping the upcoming collaboration between Raw and its hit series Stranger Things. The first Raw episode of 2026 will feature a crossover between the shows, though it’s still unclear what that exactly means.

“RAW gets Stranger – It’s Stranger Things Night on WWE RAW!,” Netflix wrote. “The 2026 premiere episode on January 5th will feature some of the biggest names in WWE and kick off WrestleMania season. Live on Netflix 8 PM ET | 5 PM PT – You won’t want to miss it.”

The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York is hosting the January 5 episode, which will celebrate the one-year anniversary of Raw coming to Netflix. So far, three title matches have been confirmed for the broadcast:

  • World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk defends against Bron Breakker
  • Women’s Intercontinental Champion Maxxine Dupri defends against Becky Lynch
  • Women’s Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) defend against IYO SKY & Rhea Ripley

Stranger Things is one of the biggest shows Netflix has ever produced. The retro horror series is currently airing its fifth and final season.

There was also a WWE crossover on Netflix’s NFL coverage today with Seth Rollins appearing on the pre-game panel for the Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions game.
