1/12 WWE RAW Preview
Tonight’s WWE RAW comes to you live from the PSD BANK DOME in Düsseldorf, Germany at a special start time of 2 PM ET
GUNTHER continues to revel in the fact that he forced John Cena to tap out in Cena’s retirement match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, and tonight he returns to singles action for a first‑time‑ever showdown with AJ Styles. Last week, Adam Pearce asked GUNTHER to “show respect,” which the Ring General interpreted as respect owed to him. Styles confronted him, but GUNTHER refused to let him speak — prompting Styles to answer with a slap that echoed through the arena. Tonight, they settle it in the ring.
CM Punk enters Düsseldorf fresh off retaining the World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker in last Monday’s main event, finishing the challenger with three consecutive GTSs. Breakker’s Vision allies — Bronson Reed, Austin Theory, and Logan Paul — attempted to interfere, but Penta, Rey Fenix, and Rey Mysterio neutralized them before they could get involved. Tonight, Penta teams with former World Tag Team Champion Dragon Lee to face Reed and Theory, while Punk is scheduled to appear following his successful title defense, as confirmed by Adam Pearce in a video posted to WWE’s X account.
Last week also saw major movement in the women’s division. Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY became the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions after dethroning Asuka and Kairi Sane of The Kabuki Warriors in the opening match. Meanwhile, Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer was blindsided twice by Raquel Rodriguez — once in the ring and again backstage — while wearing a walking boot after failing to retain her title in a Triple Threat Match the previous week. According to Pearce, Ripley, SKY, and Rodriguez all have something to say tonight, and given the chaos surrounding the division, their words may be just as impactful as their actions.
