-- Below are more news and notes for tonight's huge WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix:
- As noted in an earlier headline, WWE conducted rehearsals into the wee hours of the night yesterday and they are back at it early this morning. Based on the rehearsals, the belief within the company is that with Raw now streaming on Netflix instead of on linear TV, creative does not have to deal with a "hard out" as they did on the USA Network where the show needed to get off air or risk getting cut off. It is believed that WWE is going to be taking full advantage of the freedom that Netflix will allow the, which aligns with Paul Levesque's recent comments that there is no set run-time for how long Raw will be.
- Tonight's event is going to be completely sold out and WWE wrestlers have been told that there are absolutely no comps available for their friends and family.
- The video announcement for next month's WWE Royal Rumble has been seen internally within the company, so there is a good chance it will be revealed tonight on Raw at some point.
- WWE has a number of returns lined up over the next few weeks and months including Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. As for if all of them will return tonight on Raw, a WWE source cautioned that creative has a specific plan in place for each of their returns and it won't be a case of them just all showing up tonight or any night for the sake of a pop.
- All the top NXT talents are scheduled to be in Los Angeles tonight for Raw; NXT head Shawn Michaels, trainer Matt Bloom and on-screen GM Ava are already there.
