Is WWE RAW live tonight?
The November 25 episode of WWE RAW will be the final stop before the Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event, which takes place in Vancouver, Canada, this Saturday, November 30. The build-up for the event is expected to peak on this week's episode of the red brand.
This week, WWE RAW will be live, unlike last week's episode, which was taped. This was done so that wrestlers could have more time to rest and spend with their families before Thanksgiving.
Likewise, this week's Friday Night SmackDown will also be taped, as Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 28. Thus, the next live show on the main roster after this Monday's WWE RAW is Survivor Series: WarGames on Saturday, November 30.
As for tonight's episode, there are a lot of storylines that will continue this week ahead of Saturday's Survivor Series: WarGames.
What will fans see on WWE RAW this Monday?
WWE RAW will see two participants from the Women's WarGames match in action, as Bianca Belair will face Nia Jax, with the winner handing her team the advantage in the match.
In addition, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, who is teasing a heel turn every week, of The New Day will take on The Alpha Academy in a tag team match. It is unclear what plans the WWE creative has for The Judgment Day right now, as there has been tension brewing between Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio lately. We could also see another segment between The Wyatt Sicks and The Final Testament take place this Monday.
Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker and Sheamus will also be on RAW, seeking revenge on Ludwig Kaiser, who assaulted them last week during their title match. As for the reigning World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, he will have a final face-off with Damian Priest before their title match at Survivor Series: WarGames. This will be a rematch from their bout at SummerSlam, where The Ring General dethroned The Punisher, thanks to an assist from Finn Balor.
Last but not least, CM Punk will return to RAW after six weeks off, to address his comeback last Friday on SmackDown, where he reunited with Paul Heyman and joined the OG Bloodline (Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Sami Zayn) as the fifth member against The New Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Bronson Reed). It could be quite an interesting segment, as Seth Rollins could also get involved to confront The Best in the World.
