Tonight’s episode of the Red brand features a World title clash!
Tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw is set to air live from the Centre Videotron Arena in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The promotion has announced multiple matches and segments for the show, including a Women’s World title match and two singles matches.
Sami Zayn will lock horns against Rusev after their altercation last week, where Sami got roped into the brawl between Rusev and Sheamus. On the other hand, WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch will battle Maxxine Dupri in a non-title match.
As Clash in Paris 2025 inches closer, storylines and matches for the PLE continue to take shape, and tonight’s show will continue the build, likely announcing more matches for the show.
Who will kick off WWE RAW tonight?

‘The Second City Saint’ CM Punk is set to kick off tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw. The appearance comes after his title loss after Seth Rollins cashed in the MITB contract, ending Punk’s World title run as soon as it started.
On last week’s show, Punk attacked Seth Rollins during the latter’s clash against LA Knight. However, the numbers game took over as Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed took over. Roman Reigns tried the same after the beatdown of Punk, but fell prey to the numbers game.
Punk, in his appearance, will likely cut a scathing promo and might decide to call out Rollins, which would be a thrilling start for tonight’s show.
