Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Netflix and Bronson Reed.
• Netflix’s blockbuster night with Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul drew 60 million viewers, but came with significant technical problems for fans.
The much-anticipated fight between the social media sensation and the boxing icon drew global attention but was marred by persistent buffering and connection issues.
Frustrated fans took to social media to vent their anger, and for some WWE fans, this raised concerns about Netflix’s readiness for RAW in 2025.
According to Fightful Select, the platform assured WWE that these issues would be resolved before January. However, a WWE executive quipped, “If we were ever doing the type of traffic Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were doing, that would be a good problem to have.”
This isn’t Netflix’s first struggle with live streaming. Earlier this year, the Love is Blind live finale faced similar setbacks, prompting doubts about the platform’s preparedness for live events.

• The feud between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa intensified on SmackDown as anticipation grows for the WarGames match between the Original Bloodline and the new Bloodline. The conflict erupted on SmackDown when the OG Bloodline stormed the ring, leading to a chaotic brawl with Solo Sikoa and his allies.
The biggest surprise of the night came when “Big” Bronson Reed attacked Reigns from behind. Reed, who had been seen backstage earlier, officially aligned with the New Bloodline, unleashing a brutal assault on the OG Bloodline and delivering a devastating Tsunami to The OTC.
This shocking moment seemingly confirms Bronson Reed as the final member of the New Bloodline’s WarGames team.
