This clash between the two former Bullet Club leaders joins a loaded card for the final show before this Sunday’s Clash in Paris. Roman Reigns is scheduled to kick off the broadcast to continue the build toward his impending confrontation with Bronson Reed, which follows weeks of brawls involving Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker.
In the women’s division, Rhea Ripley will compete against Roxanne Perez in a non-title match. The match takes place just one week after Naomi vacated the WWE Women’s World Championship due to her pregnancy, and it is expected that the future of the title will be addressed. Raquel Rodriguez will be in Perez’s corner.
Also scheduled, Nikki Bella will appear to call out Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch. The segment is anticipated to build towards a future championship match between the two, possibly at Clash in Paris or the upcoming Wrestlepalooza.
The night’s other announced in-ring action will see Penta take on Kofi Kingston. This match continues the ongoing issue between Penta and The New Day, coming just a week after Penta defeated Kingston’s partner, Xavier Woods.
Monday Night Raw airs live today with a special start time of 3 p.m. ET on Netflix.
