Powell’s POV: WWE added the Morgan vs. Valkyria match since our last update. The first Raw of 2026 will be live on Monday from Brooklyn, New York, at Barclays Center. WWE is touting this as the first anniversary of the Raw premiere on Netflix. Join me for my live review of Raw as the show streams Mondays on Netflix at 7CT/8ET. My weekly same-night audio reviews of Raw are available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
