WWE fans react to Netflix’s Stranger Things-themed RAW

Fans were cracking jokes in the comments section of Netflix’s post. “[The] Undertaker portals into the Upside Down? Count me in,” one fan wrote.

Quite a few fans mentioned Vecna, one joking that the character is “making his debut” during this episode of RAW, another quipped that he will interfere in the main event between CM Punk and Bron Breakker.

The extent of this collaboration and crossover remains unclear. The Jan. 5, 2026, edition of RAW is essentially the season premiere of WWE’s flagship show.

In 2025, WWE and Netflix’s officially began with the inaugural episode of RAW on the streaming service on Jan. 6. Now, a year later, one of Netflix’s biggest properties, Stranger Things, is being used on WWE TV.

There are several marquee matchups announced for the Jan. 5 edition of RAW. As mentioned, Punk will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Breakker.

Additionally, there will be other championship matches. Maxxine Dupri will defend the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against former champ Becky Lynch. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky will also face the Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) for the Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Stranger Things is nearing its Season 5 finale. The first four episodes of the fifth and final season premiered on Nov. 26, 2025. Three more episodes will premiere on Dec. 25. The finale will then air on Dec. 31.
