The forthcoming episode of WWE RAW will mark the second show of the red brand on Netflix. The debut on the OTT platform generated huge buzz among the audience and garnered substantial viewership for World Wrestling Entertainment.
Now, fans are eagerly awaiting what Triple H has in store for them on the second episode of the red brand on Netflix. In this article, we will discuss five potential developments that could take place in the next episode of RAW on Netflix.
#5. Former AEW star Penta might make his debut
The arrival of Penta in WWE is seemingly confirmed, and in the upcoming episode of RAW, the former AEW star might finally make his debut against Chad Gable in a singles match. During last week’s RAW, Adam Pearce confirmed that Gable will face a luchador in the next episode.
Additionally, in the post-show conference, Triple H hinted that Penta could be the mysterious luchador. With these developments, it seems likely that fans will witness the debut of the 39-year-old star in the Stamford-based promotion on the second edition of RAW on Netflix.
#4. Dakota Kai may capture the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Championship
A high-profile title match has already been confirmed for this week's edition of Monday Nights RAW. For those unaware, Dakota Kai is set to clash with Lyra Valkyria to crown the first-ever Women's Intercontinental Champion. In this highly anticipated battle, fans believe Dakota Kai has a stronger likelihood of securing the win and becoming a singles champion for the first time on the main roster.
Another highlight fans could witness on the second episode of RAW on Netflix is the Damage CTRL member making history as the first-ever Women's IC Champion in World Wrestling Entertainment.
#3. CM Punk might issue a challenge to Gunther for a title match at Royal Rumble 2025
WWE Royal Rumble 2025 is the next premium live event for the Stamford-based promotion. CM Punk has already declared his entry into the traditional Rumble match. However, there's still a possibility that The Best in the World might also issue a challenge to Gunther for a World Heavyweight Title bout at this PLE.
Punk, after defeating Seth Rollins last week, has confirmed that his sights were set on the world title. It wouldn’t be surprising if The Voice of the Voiceless challenges the Ring General for a title match on this week's show.
This scenario provides Punk with a dual opportunity at the Rumble: he could either win the World Heavyweight Title or, if he fails, enter the Rumble match to secure another shot.
#2. Alexa Bliss might finally make her return
The return of Alexa Bliss has been highly anticipated by fans, but The Goddess has yet to make her comeback. Bliss's return might finally happen on RAW this week, potentially kicking off her road to Royal Rumble 2025.
The former WWE Women’s Champion could either become part of The Wyatt Sicks storyline or return by declaring her entry into this year's women’s traditional Rumble match.
#1. Finn Balor might quit WWE RAW as part of storyline after losing to Damian Priest
Finn Balor and Damian Priest are set to clash in a Street Fight match on the second episode of RAW on Netflix. The former Universal Champion has already suffered a loss against Priest in their previous encounter. If Finn suffers another defeat, it could be a heartbreaking moment for him.
Following this, the veteran might decide to quit WWE as part of a storyline, taking a short break from the Stamford-based promotion. The rationale behind this angle could be to facilitate a babyface turn, with Balor returning as a heroic character after quitting WWE on this week's show.
