The stars will be out for this Monday’s WWE Raw from San Jose, California — the second-ever episode on Netflix.
Raw general manager Adam Pearce took to social media Saturday to both give his well wishes to anyone dealing with the Southern California wildfires and to announce some new additions to the show:
- CM Punk: Punk is coming off a massive win over rival Seth Rollins that main evented last Monday’s Netflix debut show.
- Rhea Ripley: Ripley once again is WWE Women’s World Champion after defeating rival Liv Morgan last Monday and giving Dominik Mysterio a parting low blow for good measure.
- Gunther: The reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion was seen last Monday, but only in video form.
The new additions join a lineup that already featured the finals of the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental title tournament, a street fight between Damian Priest and Finn Balor, the expected debut of Penta El Zero Miedo, and more.
Here’s the updated lineup:
- Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor in a street fight
- Chad Gable vs. TBA (believed to be the debuting Penta)
- Women’s Intercontinental title tournament finals: Lyra Valkyria vs. Dakota Kai
- Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser
- CM Punk appearance
- Gunther appearance
- Rhea Ripley appearance
