Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving RAW and Solo Sikoa.
• WWE is gearing up to bring its trademark action to Netflix, and fans are already getting hints about the big names potentially involved.
Fightful Select reports that Netflix has specifically requested top talent from the men’s roster, with Roman Reigns, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and CM Punk being highly sought after. While these choices seem like no-brainers, WWE is keeping fans guessing, as the official statement confirms that final rosters are still undetermined.
Interestingly, the wrestlers themselves haven’t received clarity on which brand they’ll represent when RAW moves to Netflix in January or if there’s a set strategy behind the selections.
A commercial and video shoot took place on October 27, featuring stars from both SmackDown and RAW, including IYO SKY, Kairi Sane, Motor City Machine Guns, Elektra Lopez, and members of the LWO. Notably, Baron Corbin was also present at the shoot—just before his departure from WWE.

• After his big win at WWE Crown Jewel, Solo Sikoa has embraced a new moniker. Following his victory alongside Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga against Roman Reigns and The Usos, Sikoa quickly positioned himself at the top of The Bloodline.
In a promo shared by WWE before their Live Event in Dublin, Ireland, Sikoa confidently credited himself for the sold-out show, proclaiming, “And still your Tribal Chief, Solo. The Tribal Chief is here in Dublin, Ireland. And we are sold out, and that is all because of me. The whole world, and everybody here tonight, they will acknowledge me.”
Sikoa’s bold claim to leadership has stirred up a lot of buzz, with WWE even using “Solo-TC” in a social media post to underscore his new moniker, in reference to Roman’s OTC moniker.
Sikoa lost to Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight at this event.
