Netflix reveals date for WWE-Stranger Things crossover

We’re officially less than two weeks away from a crossover between WWE Raw and the hit Netflix series Stranger Things.

Last week, it was reported that a promotional crossover between WWE and Stranger Things would be happening soon. Details were sparse at the time and there is still not much information available, but we now know that it will be taking place on January 5. The crossover is happening on the first Raw of 2026, which will celebrate the one-year anniversary of Raw moving to the streaming platform.

“THE WWE GETS STRANGER,” Netflix tweeted out today. “January 5 LIVE only on Netflix at 8 PM ET | 5 PM PT #WWERaw”

Brooklyn, New York is hosting the January 5 show. It will feature a World Heavyweight Championship match with CM Punk defending against Bron Breakker. Two other title bouts are also set for the episode. Maxxine Dupri defends her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch, while Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY challenge Asuka & Kairi Sane for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles.

Stranger Things — one of the most popular original series in Netflix’s history — is currently in the midst of its final season. More episodes will be released on Christmas Day, with the final batch then set to drop on New Year’s Eve.

“In 1980s Indiana, a group of young friends witness supernatural forces and secret government exploits,” the official description for Stranger Things says. “As they search for answers, the children unravel a series of extraordinary mysteries.”
