An exciting update has emerged regarding WWE's plans for celebrity involvement as they gear up for the company's Netflix premiere. With WWE Raw moving to Netflix in the US in January and all WWE programming set to reach international territories through the streaming service, there's been a flurry of speculation about what the Netflix-era WWE TV will look like.
Celebrities have long been a regular fixture on WWE TV. Names like Bad Bunny and Logan Paul have wrestled for the company multiple times, while Vanessa Hudgens and Jelly Roll have made several appearances this year. This trend shows no signs of slowing down.
According to Deadline, Triple H stated at the Netflix HQ media event that there will be more celebrity involvement on Raw in the future. It was noted that both Netflix and WWE have been engaged in ongoing conversations about potential IP expansion and opportunities for wrestlers and celebrities who are fans of wrestling.
Recalling Jelly Roll's WWE ambitions, Triple H shared, "I just saw Jelly Roll the other day and he's still raving about wrestling. Every time I see him, he says the same thing, 'I got another 100 pounds to go, baby, and I'm doing a match with you guys.'" This shows the passion that celebrities bring to the WWE world.
Triple H previously invited Travis Scott to appear live on the January 6 edition of Raw in Los Angeles, which will be the brand's premiere episode on Netflix. WWE gifted Scott an interesting custom championship belt, adding to the excitement surrounding his appearance.
This is just a glimpse into the world of WWE and celebrity involvement. As the company continues to grow and expand, we can expect to see more exciting collaborations and appearances in the future.
