Opening Segment for 12/16 WWE RAW Revealed

WWE returns tonight with the Saturday Night’s Main Event fallout edition of Raw, promising major storyline developments and a stacked card. With just weeks left before Raw’s Netflix debut, the company is doubling down on delivering must-see TV.

Fans can expect fireworks as both CM Punk and Seth Rollins are confirmed to address their heated rivalry. WrestleVotes has reported that Punk will kick off the show, potentially setting the stage for his rumored clash with Rollins on the January 6 Netflix premiere of Raw.

The stakes are high in the ring as well, with two championship matches scheduled. WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker will defend his title against Ludwig Kaiser, while The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and JD McDonagh put their World Tag Team Titles on the line against The War Raiders, Erik and Ivar.

With CM Punk opening the show, championship gold on the line, and the Rollins-Punk rivalry intensifying, tonight’s Raw looks to be a pivotal episode leading into the new year.

• WWE World Tag Team Championship: Judgment Day (Finn Balor & JD McDonagh) (c) vs. The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar)
