WWE General Manager Adam Pearce has announced several additions to the lineup for Monday’s episode of Raw in Germany.

In a video posted to social media on Sunday, Pearce stated that the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY will kick off the broadcast. The duo captured the titles from the Kabuki Warriors on last week’s show.

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk is also scheduled to speak following his successful title defense against Bron Breakker. Additionally, Raquel Rodriguez will appear to address her attack on Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer.

A newly announced tag team match will see Dragon Lee and Penta face Austin Theory and Bronson Reed. Rey Mysterio will accompany Lee and Penta to the ring, while Paul Heyman will second the opposing team.

The segments join a lineup featuring a first-time singles encounter between Gunther and AJ Styles.

The event takes place at the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf. Due to the time difference, the show will air live on Netflix at a special start time of 2 p.m. ET.

  • Gunther vs. AJ Styles
  • Penta & Dragon Lee vs. Austin Theory & Bronson Reed
