CM Punk vs. Bron Breakker | World Heavyweight Title Match: Stranger Things Raw Hype Package

World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Bron Breakker

Breakker earned this shot by pinning Punk at Survivor Series WarGames. The feud has turned deeply personal, with both men targeting each other\'s families in promos. With Austin Theory revealed as The Vision\'s masked man and the full faction in Breakker\'s corner, the odds are stacked against the champion.

Women\'s Tag Team Championship: The Kabuki Warriors (c) vs. Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky

Asuka and Kairi Sane defend against the duo they betrayed. RHIYO has momentum after Iyo pinned Sane in an eight-woman tag on SmackDown, setting up this Crown Jewel rematch.

Women\'s Intercontinental Championship: Maxxine Dupri (c) vs. Becky Lynch

Lynch returned two weeks ago seeking to reclaim her title. Dupri, now training at the Hart Family Dungeon, has developed a new edge and promises to prove her first victory was no fluke.

Singles Match: Liv Morgan vs. Lyra Valkyria

Morgan makes her first televised in-ring return since June shoulder surgery. Tension is brewing between Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez within The Judgment Day heading into WrestleMania season.

WWE Monday Night Raw streams live on Netflix at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT.
