Tonight’s episode of the Red Brand will feature some exciting segments
The 01/20 episode of Monday Night Raw will be aired live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Two matches along with multiple segments and the return of WWE legend JBL have been announced for the show.
The show will also be used to build storylines further for the matches announced for the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event. The show will feature appearances from top stars from the Red brand including World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, Jey Uso, Seth Rollins, and many more.
Ahead of this week’s show in Dallas let us take a look at the four predictions for the 01/20 episode of the Red brand.
4. Karrion Kross vs Sami Zayn match for SNME
On the last week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, Sami Zayn got into a heated argument with The Miz who was accompanied by Karrion Kross. Although initially Kross took part in the argument Miz slowly took over leading to an impromptu match between the two. Kross was keeping a close eye on the match backstage last week.
There is a possibility that Kross will take matters into his own hands as Miz failed to secure the win and attack Zayn on tonight’s episode. Zayn will not back down if a brawl happens and this will likely result in Adam Pearce making a match between the two for the upcoming SNME in San Antonio, Texas.

3. The New Day demand a title shot
Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston (New Day) have getting a lot of hate from the fandom and the WWE locker room since they turned their back on Big E. However, it seems as if they have no remorse for their action and have fully embraced the heel turn.
The New Day is set to return to the squared ring tonight, the promotion has not yet revealed who Woods and Kingston’s opponent is. Woods and Kingston will likely look for a statement win to challenge War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) for the World Tag Team titles.

2. Damian Priest & Liv Morgan announces their Rumble entry
Damian Priest put an end to his rivalry with Finn Balor in the street match last week where he emerged victorious in a match that captivated fan’s attention. However, Priest has not been able to reclaim the Heavyweight title which he lost last year at the hand of Gunther.
After the victory last week, Priest might shift his focus on getting the title back and will likely announce his entry into the 2025 Royal Rumble match.
On the other hand, Liv Morgan recently suffered a defeat against Rhea Ripley in the historic debut of Raw on Netflix. Morgan’s title was on the line for the match and the defeat shattered her title reign. The former champion did not make an appearance on the last week’s show but she will likely make an appearance tonight to kick off her journey back towards the title.
Morgan can announce her entry into the 2025 Royal Rumble match in order to get a title shot at the grandest stage in April and get back to her winning ways with the title.
1. Chad Gable demands a rematch
Mexican sensation Penta made his highly anticipated debut on last week’s episode of the Red brand. Amid much fanfare, Penta was revealed as the mystery opponent for the leader of the American-Made faction Chad Gable.
Despite asking for the match, Gable was unable to defeat ‘the best luchador WWE has’ as Penta picked up the win. However, Gable instantly made it clear via his X handle after the match that he hates losing but he felt alive in the match which reinstated his love for pro wrestling, and on tonight’s episode, he will likely demand a rematch against the new addition to the Red brand.
