If the finish to last week’s episode of Monday Night Raw is any indication, than Quebec City needs to prepare for some fireworks when WWE’s flagship show goes live tonight on Netflix.
CM Punk is back and he is pissed after Seth Rollins pulled off the ‘Ruse of the Century’ at SummerSlam and stole the World Heavyweight Championship away mere minutes after Punk had dethroned Gunther.
The self-proclaimed ‘Best in the World’ will be at the Centre Videotron at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) to kick-off the show and you can bet that he’ll have his sights set on The Visionary. The issue for Punk is that he’s far from the only man who wants a piece of Seth Rollins.

LA Knight was awarded the first opportunity at the new World Heavyweight Champion last Monday night, but his shot fell by the wayside when Punk got involved in the match. Both men ended up falling victim to a stomp from Rollins after Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed proved to be too much of a duo for either man to overcome individually.
Not even Roman Reigns could fight his way through the rest of The Vision to exact his revenge on Seth Rollins and The OTC was also dropped with a stomp on last week’s show. It’s entirely possible that Reigns, Punk and Knight will have to put their differences aside and fight together in order to achieve their common goals. Then again, only one man can hold the gold.
While the dust continues to settle around the World Heavyweight Championship scene, the Women’s World Title picture has gotten even cloudier. Stephanie Vaquer became the No. 1 Contender by winning the Women’s Battle Royal at Evolution, but we don’t yet know who she’ll be facing at Clash in Paris.
After pinning Rhea Ripley to retain the gold at SummerSlam, Naomi was set defend the Women’s World Championship one final time against IYO SKY tonight, but she has now been ruled unable to compete.
The Women’s Intercontinental Championship will be on the line as Becky Lynch goes one-on-one with Maxxine Dupri, and Canada’s own Sami Zayn will face off against the Rusev.
Here is everything you need to know about tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw from Quebec City. Check back for updates as more matches and segments are announced throughout the day.
Naomi successfully defended her Women’s World Championship against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam, but she didn’t pin the Genius of the Sky to win that match. With a date against Stephanie Vaquer at Clash in Paris hanging in the balance, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce is giving IYO SKY one last opportunity to win her title back from Naomi tonight on Raw.
Becky Lynch must have been watching Natalya’s recent work in Bloodsport, because The Man wanted absolutely no part of that smoke when a challenge was issued last week on Raw. Nattie was ready to throw down with the Women’s Intercontinental Champion after she humiliated Nikki Bella in front of the WWE Universe, but Lynch accepted a fight with poor Maxxine Dupri instead.
It was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sami Zayn was in the middle of an interview last week on Raw when he got caught up in a backstage brawl between Rusev and Sheamus. Amidst all the commotion, Zayn took a stray right cross to the jaw from the Bulgarian Brute and Sami will be looking to dish out a little payback in front of his fellow countrymen.
