WWE finally made it's long-awaited, $5billion debut on Netflix and the show featured plenty of legends and top stars fit for the occasion. The company went all out with a title match, two ends to blood feuds and a host of A-list names, so let's get into the action.

The banner show kicked off with a 'cold open' video package that showed the history of WWE leading up to their $5 billion deal with Netflix, fittingly voiced by Triple H himself. As soon as the video cut, The Game was standing in front of the 17,000 strong Los Angeles crowd. After a roaring speech welcoming everyone to the 'Netflix era', the current chief of creative was swiftly followed by one of his greatest ever rivals - The Rock.

The Rock dropped the first swear words of the Netflix era just 15 minutes into the broadcast as he called 'bulls***' on his own attempt to convert his famous catchphrase into 'Finally, WWE has come back to Netflix' - which was rightly met with silence.

Cody Rhodes was watching on from ringside - for some reason - and Rock took time to give the current WWE undisputed heavyweight champion his props. The interaction these two had after WrestleMania last year made many believe it was a lock they would battle when The Rock returned again - evidently not.

The Rock did take time to acknowledge Roman Reigns as the real tribal chief and said he would be watching his battle with Solo Sikoa closely, which paved the way for said matchup. Solo Sikoa v Roman Reigns. Sikoa, the young whippersnapper (who is only eight years younger than Roman, but still) who wants to be the true leader of the Bloodline, dominated the legendary Reigns in the early going, much to Paul Heyman's dismay.
