It’s going to be a big move. Check out what has been happening on Monday Night Raw:

Opinion: This is the kind of information that does clear things up a bit. It makes me hopeful that the Monday Night Raw archive, or at least parts of it, will be available. Having it leave Peacock will not be good but maybe we are going to be seeing at least some parts of it coming back up sooner than later. The move to Netflix could be quite the upgrade, but the details are what matter most.
