WWE Monday Night Raw card: August 11, 2025
CM Punk kicks off Raw
WWE’s official preview:
CM Punk will be live on Monday Night Raw and is set to kick off the show.
The Second City Saint is still reeling from his beatdown at the hands of World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed and will have much to say.
Punk also fell victim to Rollins when The Visionary pulled off the ruse of the century at SummerSlam and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to win the World Heavyweight Title from Punk, who had just defeated Gunther to capture the championship.
Sami Zayn vs. Rusev
WWE’s official preview:
Sami Zayn was caught in the crossfire of a backstage brawl between Sheamus and Rusev on the Aug. 4 edition of Raw.
This week, Zayn will battle Rusev for the first time since 2017.
Zayn has gone 3-0 against The Bulgarian Brute in singles combat, though their last encounter was almost 10 years ago.
Can Zayn maintain his winning streak against Rusev, or will Rusev defeat Zayn for the first time?
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Maxxine Dupri for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship
WWE’s official preview:
During a backstage confrontation last week, Natalya stood up to Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, but Lynch wanted a match against Maxxine Dupri, Natalya’s Dungeon Dolls counterpart.
Tonight, Lynch will take on Dupri for the first time ever with the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line.
Naomi (c) vs. IYO SKY for the Women’s World Championship
WWE’s official preview:
IYO SKY will get a chance to reclaim the Women’s World Title as she battles Naomi.
SKY lost the title during a classic against Rhea Ripley when Ms. Money in the Bank Naomi cashed in to become the new champion.
At SummerSlam, Naomi retained the title against SKY and Ripley in a Triple Threat Match.
This time, however, the Women’s World Champion is one-on-one with SKY, a Superstar that Naomi has never beaten.
The winner of the match won’t be able to rest easy, as Stephanie Vaquer will challenge the victor at WWE Clash in Paris.
