With the aftermath of “Saturday Night’s Main Event” in full swing, fans are gearing up for a thrilling episode of WWE Raw. Notably, the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk, is set to make an appearance, likely marking the occasion with a celebration of his recent victory. Raw general manager Adam Pearce confirmed Punk’s participation, hinting that a challenger may confront the newly crowned champion during the show.
In an exciting tag team matchup, Nikki Bella will join forces with Stephanie Vaquer to face the duo of Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez, who recently attacked them after matches. This clash is sure to be a highlight for fans following the evolving storylines in the women’s division.
Additionally, a significant rematch is on the card, as the World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee will defend their titles against The Judgment Day, the team they previously defeated for the championships. Nicknamed “AJ Lee,” Styles continues to shine in what has become his retirement tour, a path he has chosen following the announcement of John Cena’s retirement at the end of this year. The nature of Styles’ farewell matches remains uncertain, but his legacy as a multi-time champion speaks for itself.
The Judgment Day, having held the World Tag Team Championships four times, features a rich history with members Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and JD McDonagh. In a recent twist, members of the group are waiting for Liv Morgan’s return after she sustained a shoulder injury in June, while Dominik Mysterio continues to anchor the group by holding the AAA Mega Championship.
As Raw takes place in Albuquerque, viewers can expect not only thrilling matches but also potential developments leading into John Cena’s anticipated 16-man tournament and the upcoming Survivor Series: War Games event. Fans eagerly await how these storylines will unfold.
