WWE Raw Québec Lineup Heats Up — Major Matches Confirmed and Punk’s First Words Since SummerSlam

The road to this Monday’s WWE Raw just got a lot more interesting.
On Sunday, WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce took to social media with fresh updates for the August 11 episode, streaming live at 8/7c on Netflix from the Videotron Centre in Québec City, Québec, Canada. The card now boasts three high-profile bouts, a blockbuster opening segment, and plenty of unresolved SummerSlam drama.
📅 WWE Raw — August 11, 2025
📍 Videotron Centre – Québec City, Québec, Canada
🕗 Live at 8/7c on Netflix
Confirmed Matches & Segments
- Sami Zayn vs. Rusev — The hometown hero Zayn will go one-on-one with the returning Bulgarian brute in what’s expected to be a hard-hitting clash.
- WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship — Becky Lynch (c) vs. Maxxine Dupri of Alpha Academy. Dupri is stepping up for her biggest singles test yet against “The Man.”
- WWE Women’s World Championship — Naomi (c) vs. Iyo Sky. The high-flying former champion gets a shot at redemption after losing the gold in shocking fashion.
- Opening Segment — CM Punk’s first words since the most controversial moment of SummerSlam 2025, when Seth Rollins revealed a fake injury, cashed in Money in the Bank, and ended Punk’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign just five minutes after it began. Expect fireworks.
🗣️ Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
All eyes will be on CM Punk this Monday night. Sources tell us the mood backstage is tense, with creative giving Punk “full rope” for his promo. Whether he uses it to demand a rematch, call out Rollins directly, or take aim at WWE management remains to be seen — but don’t expect him to hold back. Québec City is also expected to give Sami Zayn one of the loudest ovations of his career, and WWE is leaning into that hometown momentum. With two women’s title matches on the same night, this episode could quietly become one of Raw’s most stacked shows of the year.
