A new era has arrived as WWE Monday Night RAW moves to Netflix with a new stage. Finally, it looks like the company is going to switch it up from the usual format.
Paul “Triple H” Levesque posted a video on social media showing the preparation for the big show. The inside of the Intuit Dome is shown as the WWE crew is setting up the stage. Very quick glimpses of the new setup are shown towards the end of the video.
The stage still retains the LED boards that have become staples of WWE stages. However, it is noticeably shorter than the previous entrance stages.

They also tweaked the announce table. It looks like it will no longer be right at ringside in its traditional spot. It also ooks like the announcers will now be standing while calling the action.
Additionally, WWE looks like they will use the wraparound LED board in the rafters of the Intuit Dome for the RAW premiere episode. That should give everyone in the arena a clear view of the action.
What remains to be seen is the ringside area. Will WWE still use the LED boards around the barricades at ringside? And will the red ropes return? Fans will find out when RAW premieres on Netflix at 8 pm ET on January 6, 2025.
