WWE is preparing to blur the lines between sports entertainment and supernatural fiction as the red brand enters Stranger Things. This milestone broadcast promises to transform the Barclays Center into a nostalgic landscape where the squared circle meets the eerie atmosphere of Hawkins.

The crossover between the world of streaming and professional wrestling is being amplified by a direct call to the fans for full participation.

WWE has officially requested that fans attending the Brooklyn show arrive dressed in attire inspired by the hit series, Stranger Things. This collaboration celebrates the first anniversary of the historic move to Netflix, branding the evening as a unique crossover event. The company wants the live audience to become a visual part of the production to enhance the immersive experience.

Promotional material featuring CM Punk and Bron Breakker has already adopted the iconic aesthetic of the show to build anticipation. Social media posts have encouraged the WWE Universe to showcase their creativity through their outfits.

“We want you to bring your best Stranger Things looks to Brooklyn” the post read.

“Bring the nostalgia. Bring the noise. We’ll see you and your #StrangerThings inspired fits this Monday at Barclays centre!” the post continued.

The January 5 episode serves as a landmark date, marking exactly one year since the flagship program shifted to its new digital home. By encouraging cosplay and thematic involvement, the organization is fostering a community-driven atmosphere.

WWE seems to be completely locked in for its collaboration with Stranger Things for the first episode of Monday Night RAW in 2026. The January 5, 2026, episode of RAW will mark a major milestone for the company, as it will mark the first anniversary of its flagship show streaming on Netflix. Apart from the World Heavyweight Title, two more championships will be on the line on the first RAW of 2026.

Furthermore, the Kabuki Warriors will defend the Women’s Tag Team Title against the formidable pairing of IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. With WWE urging fans to cosplay Stranger Things, one can expect a visually heavy atmosphere at Barclays Center this Monday night.

While the Brooklyn crowd prepares for a night of celebration, a darker cloud hangs over the roster of a rival promotion. Luchasaurus is dealing with a legitimate shoulder injury. He was written off at New Year’s Smash.

As WWE transforms Brooklyn into the Upside Down for its Netflix anniversary, the wrestling world remains balanced between this supernatural celebration and the somber reality of Luchasaurus’s injury.
