WWE has announced two new matches for the September 15th episode of Monday Night Raw.

In a video posted to social media on Sunday, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce revealed that El Grande Americano will face Dragon Lee, and Kofi Kingston is set to take on Penta. The show will emanate from the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.

The new additions join an already significant card. The show is scheduled to feature a face-to-face segment involving CM Punk and AJ Lee with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.

This segment builds to their mixed tag team match at Wrestlepalooza on September 20th. That event will mark Lee’s first match in over a decade.

John Cena will also make his return to Raw ahead of his Wrestlepalooza match against Brock Lesnar. The appearance is a homecoming of sorts for Cena. He graduated from Springfield College in 1999 and was inducted into its athletics Hall of Fame in 2015.

In another previously announced contest, Lyra Valkyria will go one-on-one with Roxanne Perez.

The updated lineup for Monday’s show is as follows:

  • John Cena will appear
  • CM Punk & AJ Lee in face-to-face with Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch
  • Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez
  • El Grande Americano vs. Dragon Lee
  • Kofi Kingston vs. Penta
