News regarding a new ring mat potentially debuting for WWE RAW when the show premieres on Netflix

As seen during the January 3rd 2024 edition of WWE Smackdown, a new blue ring mat was introduced. This led to internet speculation about RAW also debuting a new ring mat for the Netflix premiere this Monday.

Prior to Smackdown going on the air, WWE displayed a black ring mat which had the following logos on it: Netflix, Fortnite, Riyadh Season, Hulk Hogan’s Real American Beer, Cricket, and Snickers. Fightful.com noted that while it wasn’t confirmed the mat was for RAW, “it was intimated that it would be.”

For years, Vince McMahon was against the idea of displaying logos on the ring mat but the philosophy has changed with the new company ownership.
