Kendrick Lamar called out during Raw’s Netflix debut

Raw completed its Netflix debut on January 6 in LA.

A Surprising Crossover

Kendrick Lamar found himself unexpectedly mentioned in the wrestling world during WWE’s Raw debut on Netflix in Los Angeles on January 6.

The wrestling tag team New Day, consisting of Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, made waves by calling out the West Coast rapper in his home state.

Heated Exchange in LA

“Think about it,” Xavier Woods began, addressing the crowd. “The past six months y’all have been elevating this trash rapper Kendrick Lamar.”

The crowd at the Intuit Dome reacted with loud boos, a reaction that New Day seemed to relish. Kofi Kingston added to the heat, encouraging the crowd to boo louder, stating, “Boo him! We think he sucks, too.”

Fan Reactions

The incident sparked a range of reactions online. One fan on X commented, “Doing this in LA is insane work,” while another noted the duo’s trolling as “top tier.” Some viewers expressed disappointment that the clip was exclusive to the ad-free Netflix plan, leaving others in the dark.

Awaiting Kendrick’s Response

With the wrestling and rap worlds colliding, fans are eager to see if Kendrick Lamar will respond, perhaps through his music. As of now, neither Lamar nor Netflix has commented on the incident.

Travis Scott’s Role in the Event

Kendrick wasn’t the only rapper in the spotlight during Raw’s debut. Travis Scott made a notable appearance with his unreleased track “4×4” serving as the show’s theme song.

The involvement of the “Sicko Mode” rapper was hinted at by WWE’s Triple H in November, with Netflix later confirming his contribution to the event’s soundtrack.

This crossover between WWE and prominent rappers adds an exciting twist for fans of both entertainment worlds.
