WWE has announced the return of CM Punk and a major championship match for next week’s episode of Monday Night Raw. The show, which is scheduled to air live on Netflix at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT, will feature the highly anticipated return of “The Best in the World” to the red brand, following his involvement in a historic mixed tag team match at the WrestlePalooza Premium Live Event. Punk’s return to Raw is a significant development, as he is expected to address the events of WrestlePalooza and potentially set up his next major storyline as the company builds towards the Super Show-Down: Perth event.
The full lineup for next week’s Raw is below:
- CM Punk returns to Raw
- Becky Lynch vs. Maxxine Dupri
- Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez
The match between Becky Lynch and Maxxine Dupri is a non-title singles match. The match between Lyra Valkyria and Roxanne Perez is also a non-title singles match, which will continue the rivalry between the two top stars in the women’s division. Punk’s return to Raw will be his first appearance on television since he and his wife, AJ Lee, defeated Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at WrestlePalooza on Saturday. The mixed tag team match was the culmination of a months-long, intensely personal feud, and Punk’s appearance on Raw will be the next chapter in his story.
