Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Cody Rhodes and RAW.
• Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes may not hold the title much longer, as backstage discussions suggest potential changes in 2025.
Since defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, Rhodes has been a top star and merchandise leader, but WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas is rumored to be a turning point for his reign, where he could finally drop the title.
Reports from WrestleVotes indicate that WWE officials are considering major names like The Rock, John Cena, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk as potential opponents for Cody at WrestleMania 41.
Additionally, Drew McIntyre is being heavily favored as a future champion, with 2025 potentially marking his ascension as a main event cornerstone for WWE.

• Monday Night RAW, which is currently a two-hour show on the USA Network, will transition back to a three-hour format on Netflix starting in January, according to the Wrestling Observer. This aligns with expectations from key WWE sources.
Although Netflix provides flexibility in show lengths, RAW will maintain a fixed runtime due to existing international TV deals in regions like India, Germany, Philippines, and Japan, where broadcasts require specific time slots. Once these deals expire, WWE will gain more freedom with the show’s format.
Additionally, SmackDown is set to expand to three hours starting January 3, marking a significant shift in WWE programming length.
