Why is WWE eager for a mainstream star’s cameo on RAW’s Netflix debut? Exploring the psychology behind the move

As 2024 nears a close, the date of WWE RAW’s launch on Netflix draws closer. The Monday Night Show’s switch from cable to OTT is highly anticipated by wrestlers and fans alike. Interestingly, reports say that Travis Scott will be making a major cameo in the inaugural episode of the red brand on the streaming platform. Here's why the company is potentially going for the big move.

According to a report by WrestleVotes Radio, the Stamford-based promotion would be fielding Travis Scott for their Netflix debut. The company always tries to offer the best entertainment value to fans and getting Scott for the big opener of the year would be perfect. Moreover, his chartbuster track FE!N is already the official theme song of WrestleMania 41.

“It is worth noting that his song FE!N has been used in all the promotional material for Wrestlemania 41, so WWE is looking to go down this route, the route of bringing in some heavy mainstream names for Netflix debut, and they don’t get much bigger in the pop culture world than Travis Scott.”

Travis Scott may launch an unreleased track via his WWE appearance

A few weeks ago on SmackDown, Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso were seen entering the arena discussing a Travis Scott song. Interestingly, however, The Original Tribal Chief and Jimmy’s conversation highlighted that the track they listened to hadn’t been released so far.

This could be subtle marketing for a new project being worked on by Scott. However, it could also mean that the music industry giant may make the first revelation of a new track during an appearance on WWE.

The Stamford-based promotion is trying to expand their mainstream reach as much as possible and deliver the best entertainment to fans. With WWE having very strong ties with the SICKO MODE artist, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if he drops a new track this way.

It would be interesting to see if Scott actually makes an appearance on the inaugural RAW on Netflix episode next year.
