The deal, reported to be worth around $5 billion dollars over five years, officially kicks off on Jan 6, and will expose WWE to its new home\u2019s 280-million-plus subscribers. With a shiny new Raw logo unleashed, and an epic new theme tune expected, here are 5 talking points that have us ready to rumble:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:55.36519386835%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/John-Cena-on-the-premiere-of-WWE-on-Netflix.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" alt=\"John Cena on the premiere of WWE on Netflix\" width=\"1109\" height=\"614\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/John-Cena-on-the-premiere-of-WWE-on-Netflix.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">WWE<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>You can see Cena on January 6<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s official, the \u201cYou Can\u2019t See Me\u201d star will be on full view as he makes his first stop on his farewell to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/news\/what-to-expect-from-john-cenas-retirement-from-the-wwe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WWE action tour on Raw<\/a>, at the Intuit Dome, in Los Angeles.
