WWE Raw Preview - November 03, 2025: CM Punk Appears, Judgment Day’s Revenge, and More
For the first time in more than a decade, CM Punk will walk into Monday Night Raw as World Heavyweight Champion — and he’s doing it live on Netflix.
Fresh off a hard-fought victory over Jey Uso at Saturday Night’s Main Event, Punk heads to Albuquerque, New Mexico, carrying the gold he spent years chasing. But the celebration may be short-lived. The self-proclaimed “Best in the World” now has an entire locker room gunning for him, with names like Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and LA Knight circling for a shot at his crown. Expect fireworks when Punk addresses the WWE Universe tonight at the Rio Rancho Event Center.

World Tag Team Championship: AJ Styles & Dragon Lee (c) vs. Finn Balor & JD McDonagh
Two weeks ago, Styles and Lee shocked the world by dethroning Judgment Day to win the Tag Team gold. Tonight, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh get their rematch — and revenge is on their minds. With the faction’s credibility shaken and Dominik Mysterio still clinging to the Intercontinental Title, Judgment Day desperately needs a win to regain momentum.
Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer & Nikki Bella vs. Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez
Roxanne Perez scored the biggest win of her career last week over Nikki Bella, but the post-match beatdown brought out Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer for the save. Now, Vaquer and Bella form an unlikely alliance against the powerhouse team of Rodriguez and Perez. Expect emotion, intensity, and Hall of Fame-level drama.
Bayley & Lyra Valkyria vs. The Kabuki Warriors
After Asuka and Kairi Sane blindsided Bayley and Valkyria to close last week’s show, tensions are boiling over. Tonight’s rematch could redefine the Women’s Tag Team scene — especially if the Kabuki Warriors pull off another ambush victory.
Penta vs. El Grande Americano
Few rivalries have been as heated as Penta vs. Dominik Mysterio’s Judgment Day interference. After being robbed of multiple Intercontinental Title opportunities, Penta now sets his sights on payback. El Grande Americano stands in his way tonight — but everyone knows who Penta really wants.
🗣️ Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
CM Punk’s comeback story has reached its climax — and possibly its most dangerous chapter yet. After defeating Jey Uso at Saturday Night’s Main Event to capture the World Heavyweight Championship, Punk now stands atop the mountain for the first time in over a decade. The victory was vintage Punk: gritty, cerebral, and emotionally charged. He countered Jey’s speed with pure ring IQ, exploiting every opening until finally sealing the deal and reclaiming the title he once made famous.
But now the real test begins. Punk isn’t just the champion — he’s the hunted. Bron Breakker has been building unstoppable momentum, LA Knight has the crowd firmly in his corner, and the locker room is filled with stars ready to make their mark at Punk’s expense. The big question heading into tonight’s Raw is: who will step up first?
There’s also buzz around a potential surprise return — a name from Punk’s past who could reignite old fires and push this title reign into instant-classic territory. Whether it’s Breakker, Knight, or someone none of us see coming, one thing’s certain: the “Best in the World” is back where he belongs — in the spotlight, with the target squarely on his back.
