WWE made last-minute change to RAW debut on Netflix as 'former champion's return cancelled'

WWE reportedly made a last-minute change to the first episode of Raw on Netflix, cancelling the scheduled appearance of a former champion.

As well as a huge bouts between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, CM Punk and Seth Rollins, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley, there were appearances from legends like The Rock, John Cena, Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker.

Rapper Travis Scott also accompanied Jey Uso in one of the best entrances in recent memory.

But according to Bodyslam.net one planned cameo was nixed very late. Becky Lynch was set to make a return at the end of the Ripley vs Morgan women's world title bout but the 'Man' was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, The Undertaker appeared and shared a moment with Ripley after she defeated bitter rival Morgan to reclaim her world title.
