WWE is hoping fans dress up in Stranger Things-inspired outfits for Monday’s episode of Raw.

The January 5 edition of WWE Raw in Brooklyn, New York will celebrate the one-year anniversary of Raw coming to Netflix. Branded as “Stranger Things Night,” the episode will also have a tie-in with one of Netflix’s most popular scripted series. WWE is asking fans to contribute to the crossover by wearing clothing inspired by Stranger Things.

“This Monday, #WWERaw enters the Upside Down… and we want you to bring your best #StrangerThings looks to Brooklyn,” WWE tweeted. “Bring the energy. Bring the nostalgia. Bring the noise. We’ll see you and your #StrangerThings inspired ‘fits this Monday at @barclayscenter!”

Stranger Things, a retro horror series set in the 1980s, wrapped up its five-season run with the series finale premiering on December 31.

WWE has announced three title matches for the Raw episode, including CM Punk defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker.

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.
