Only four matches are being advertised for the premiere episode of WWERawon Netflix.
The main event will pit CM Punk against Seth “Freakin” Rollins. These two superstars legitimately hate each other. The two have been in a longstanding feud for years, so this match is long overdue.
The Roman Reigns versus Solo Sikoa contest is more than just a tribal combat match. This match is for the Ula Fala, which symbolizes the leader of the Samoan tribe. The winner of this match can call themselves the Tribal Chief. Keep an eye onthe Rock, who said he will be in attendance. Last year, Rock sided with Reigns during the WrestleMania season. Will Rock support Reigns, or is he going to turn against his former ally and side with Solo?
