Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh battle The War Raiders for the World Tag Team Titles with The Judgment Day barred from ringside​

Next week, The War Raiders will get the opportunity to again become tag team champions when they face Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh.

The last time the teams battled in a title match, the rest of The Judgment Day interfered to help Bálor and McDonagh win the bout and retain the championship.

Because of this, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced that the rest of The Judgment Day would be barred from ringside when these two teams again collide.

Which team will walk out with the gold?

Bron Breakker defends Intercontinental Title against Ludwig Kaiser​

Bron Breakker’s battles with Ludwig Kaiser are from over as the two will tangle next week for the Intercontinental Title.

Breakker walked out with the gold by prevailing in a Triple Threat Match featuring Kaiser and Sheamus at Survivor Series: WarGames.

Can Breakker once again retain his title?​

Kofi Kingston returns to his hometown of Boston​

20241213_RAW_Kofi_FC_Monday--e14d2e05c2df0eb28542901336976540.jpg

The New Day have set a new path after shockingly berating Big E and kicking him out of the group during their 10-Year Anniversary Celebration.

The emotional moment sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe, leaving Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods with very little support.

This Monday, Kingston will return to his hometown of Boston with the hopes of getting a much better reception than he and Woods received last week.

Will Kingston receive a warm welcome or be met with more hostility?

Seth “Freakin” Rollins appears live​

20241213_RAW_Seth_FC_Monday--97359da051c9842107da9f43e3fea85e.jpg

This Monday, Seth “Freakin” Rollins will be live on Raw, potentially on a collision course with CM Punk.

Rollins berated Punk last week and is focused on a match with his nemesis.

What will The Visionary say regarding The Best in the World this week?

CM Punk responds to Seth “Freakin” Rollins​

20241213_RAW_Punk_FC_Monday--2243a43afcd20e9190c0dc8bbb42e7dd.jpg

CM Punk is aspiring to enter the championship picture, but he seemingly has unfinished business with Seth “Freakin” Rollins.

Rollins has frequently called out The Voice of the Voiceless, though Punk called Rollins a “second-stringer” while being interviewed by Jackie Redmond.​

Honestly I think this is the War Raiders' night to win the titles.

I wish Bron never dropped the belt to Jey so he could do it for Ludwig.

I'm hoping Raquel doesn't win and rather Zoey does, because I think Raquel taking the IC title while Liv is the Women's champ is overkill.
