WWE's flagship show, Monday Night RAW, is set for a massive international episode this week, broadcasting live from the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany. The January 12 edition promises a night packed with high-stakes action, featuring top superstars like CM Punk, Gunther, and the new Women's Tag Team Champions.
Confirmed Matches and Major Segments
The night in North Rhine-Westphalia will be headlined by a colossal singles showdown. AJ Styles will finally battle Gunther one-on-one. This grudge match stems from Gunther's continued disrespect towards John Cena, whom he defeated in Cena's last match. Styles, a longtime rival of Cena, has taken major exception to The Ring General's actions, setting the stage for this explosive encounter.
In tag team action, the alliance known as The Vision will clash with high-flying luchadors. Austin Theory and Bronson Reed will square off against Penta and Dragon Lee. This match continues the recent rivalry between forces opposing CM Punk and the luchadors who have supported The Best in the World.
Champions Kick Off and Major Appearances
The broadcast will begin with the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. Rhea Ripley and IYO Sky, dubbed 'Rhiyo,' dethroned the team of Asuka and Kairi Sane last week. They are scheduled to kick off RAW this week, likely to celebrate their victory and confront their first potential challengers.
Fresh off a successful World Heavyweight Championship defense against Bron Breakker, CM Punk will make a special appearance. Punk survived a fierce challenge and is now looking ahead to the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. Furthermore, Raquel Rodriguez is set to address the WWE Universe following her shocking attacks on the injured WWE Women's World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer. Rodriguez's actions have positioned her as a prime contender for the singles title.
