The 01/13 episode of the Red brand is the fallout show from the Netflix premiere
The 01/13 episode of Monday Night Raw will be the fallout show from the Netflix debut episode where four high-stakes matches took place. Three of those four matches featured stars from the Red brand. The episode will reveal how the storyline and feuds will develop further after last week’s results.
The 01/13 episode of the Red brand will be aired live from the SAP Center in San Jose, California. The promotion will start building feuds and a storyline towards the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event and Royal Rumble 2025 PLE.
Four matches have been announced for the debut show including a street fight between two fierce rivals. Let us now take a look at the top five WWE storylines you should watch out for this Monday night’s show.
5. The next opponent for Gunther’s title
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther has been enjoying his time as champion as he is free from the hustle of defending the title since Saturday Night’s Main Event last month. The Ring General defended his title in a triple-threat match against Damian Priest and Finn Balor.
However, the champion might find an opponent on this week’s episode of the Red brand. Logan Paul in his return on the Raw Netflix kick-off event last month stated his intentions to fight Gunther for the title.
CM Punk has also stated his intentions to fight for the title and after a huge win against Seth Rollins in the debut episode he might challenge the Ring General in the 01/13 episode.

4. Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser
‘The Celtic Warrior’ Sheamus is set to lock horns with Ludwig Kaiser in this week’s episode of the Red brand. The Celtic Warrior made his return on the 12/30 episode of Monday Night Raw and attacked Kaiser making it clear that the feud is far from over.
The two stars last clashed in a triple threat match including Bron Breakker where Breakker’s Intercontinental title was on the line. Both stars would look to pick up a win and challenge Breakker for a rematch.
Kaiser is aiming to capture his first WWE title, while the Celtic Warrior is pursuing the only championship that has eluded him throughout his WWE career.

3. CM Punk – Seth Rollins
‘The Second City Saint’ CM Punk emerged victorious in the clash against Seth “Freakin’ Rollins in the debut episode of the Red brand last week. The two fierce rivals clashed in the main event of the show in a match that saw both men push each other to the limit.
It would be interesting to see if the two stars choose to continue their rivalry or go their separate way after settling their difference in the squared ring. Especially, Punk who has stated on multiple occasions that he wants to fight for the title and main event WrestleMania.
2. Drew McIntyre vs OG Bloodline
After dismantling Sami Zayn, ‘The Scottish Warrior’ Drew McIntyre shifted his attention to Jey Uso in his quest to take out every member of the OG Bloodline. McIntyre locked horns with Jey on the debut episode last week.
Despite many believing that it would be an easy win for the Scottish Warrior, given his undefeated record against Jey. However, McIntyre failed in his quest as despite dominating the match Jey was able to roll him up for a cover and pick the win.
The setback will irk the Scottish Warrior even more and he will likely take drastic measures to make a statement on this week’s show. Drew most likely will ambush Jey or Sami on the 01/13 episode, demanding a rematch.
1. Damian Priest vs Finn Balor
Just when fans thought the feud between Damian Priest and Finn Balor was over, Balor proved everyone wrong and attacked Priest during his title match against Gunther at Survivor Series 2024 PLE.
Since the attack, the two stars have reignited their rivalry and the animosity between the two stars is on full display. Priest and Balor will clash on the 01/13 episode of Monday Night Raw in a street fight.
The two stars didn’t get a chance to showcase their skills on the debut show, but they will now lock horns in the second episode. Priest will likely be aided by the World Tag Team Champion War Raiders.
