Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring RAW and The Bloodline.
• WWE’s RAW on Netflix Kickoff event heavily promoted CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins as the main event for the January 6th show.
However, according to WrestleVotes, Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa in Tribal Combat is expected to be the match that closes the event.
This suggests WWE is marketing Rollins vs. Punk as a main event rather than the final match, a strategy the company has used in the past, such as with WrestleMania.
WWE has announced the following matches for RAW’s Netflix debut so far:
– Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat Match with the Ula Fala on the line
– CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins
– Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship

• WWE is reportedly considering introducing a “Tribal Chief Championship” as part of the ongoing feud between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.
The rivalry, centered on who the true Tribal Chief is, has been intensifying over several months. At Survivor Series: WarGames, Reigns pinned Sikoa in a match featuring the OG Bloodline with CM Punk against the New Bloodline with Bronson Reed.
The two are set to face off in a Tribal Combat match for the Ula Fala during the RAW Netflix debut episode on January 6.
According to WrestleVotes, the proposed title would be similar in concept to The Rock’s “People’s Championship”, though the timing of its introduction remains unclear:
“Sources indicate WWE has discussed introducing a Tribal Chief Championship into the storyline between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, similar to the People’s Championship presented to The Rock at WrestleMania earlier this year.”
