This week, WWE RAW commenced its fresh chapter on Netflix at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, leaving a significant mark with its premiere. The program topped the Netflix charts in the U.S., surpassing Squid Game Season Two.

On this week’s WWE RAW, four thrilling bouts unfolded:

First up, Roman Reigns triumphed over Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match. In another hotly anticipated clash, Liv Morgan met her match against Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship.

The matches offered a thrilling blend of entertainment and sportsmanship for spectators. Numerous legendary figures from both past and present graced the stage during the event. Notable WWE Hall of Famers like The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan made appearances. Additionally, Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Rey Mysterio, LA Knight, Nikki Bella, and X-Pac could be seen in the audience, who were all greeted with thunderous applause.

I couldn’t believe my luck when, hidden amongst the crowd, I was still managing to garner a fantastic response from the spectators. Little did they know, it was me – the freshly crowned WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton, who had them cheering so loudly!

WWE officials were impressed by Tiffany Stratton’s strong crowd response

According to PWInsider, there’s been a lot of praise within WWE for Tiffany Stratton’s impactful response. During the initial broadcast of WWE RAW on Netflix, she was noticeably seated among the audience.

Last Friday on SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton seized the WWE Women’s Championship by using her Money in the Bank contract to challenge and defeat Nia Jax. Earlier, Jax had managed to keep the title despite a challenge from Naomi, thanks to Stratton’s interruption.

Following Nia Jax successfully defending her championship, she was met by Bianca Belair, her tag team partner Naomi’s counterpart, resulting in a heated altercation. Amidst the turmoil, Belair managed to bring down Jax using one of her signature moves. The commotion allowed Stratton to fling Belair onto the commentator’s table. Seizing this opportunity, Belair cashed in her briefcase and executed an exquisite moonsault on Jax, thereby capturing the title for herself.
