Opening & Matches Revealed for January 19 WWE RAW

WWE is stacking the deck for this Monday’s RAW, and it’s all going down on Netflix starting at 3 PM ET.

Gunther is slated to open the show, as confirmed by Adam Pearce in a video posted to social media on Sunday. The Ring General is expected to address his dominance heading into WrestleMania season, but with tensions rising across the roster, anything can happen when he steps into the ring live.

Also on the card, Je’Von Evans will square off against El Grande Americano in singles action. Rey Mysterio is stepping back into action too, teaming up with Dragon Lee and Penta to face The Vision—Logan Paul, Bronson Reed, and Austin Theory—in six-man tag team warfare.

The episode will also feature two championship matches. CM Punk puts his WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Finn Balor, in a match that could have major implications heading into Royal Rumble.

Meanwhile, Becky Lynch will defend her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri in a matchup that’s sure to test Dupri’s recent momentum.

Here’s the confirmed lineup for the January 19 episode of WWE RAW on Netflix:

• Gunther opens the show
• Je’Von Evans vs. El Grande Americano
• Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee & Penta vs. The Vision (Logan Paul, Bronson Reed & Austin Theory)
• WWE World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Finn Balor
• WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Maxxine Dupri

Ringside News will have full coverage starting at 3 PM ET, including a post-show podcast breaking down every segment and surprise.
