Before “Monday Night Raw” debuts on Netflix, WWE has revealed the fresh introduction that will kick off the program.

The video features a narrative by WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and it explores the background and growth of professional wrestling in relation to the development and expansion of television.

According to Levesque, as television evolved, so did wrestling, collectively shaping America. He emphasizes that a significant portion of American culture stems from the ongoing struggle between the good guys and the bad guys in wrestling narratives, where ‘face’ represents heroes and ‘heel’ stands for villains.

The video showcases an array of wrestling’s most iconic figures throughout history, featuring legends such as Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, and Andre the Giant, along with current stars like Roman Reigns, WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley.
