WWE announces first-time-ever match for RAW

Tonight's WWE RAW will move the red brand one week closer to its big Netflix premiere on January 6, 2025. Many superstars are gearing up for the big move and hoping to secure their spot at the show. Officials have now booked a first-time-ever bout for this week's episode in Boston.

Chad Gable turned heel months back and began bullying his Alpha Academy stablemates - Otis, Maxxine Dupri, and Akira Tozawa. The trio walked out on their former leader, leaving him to deal with the Wyatt Sicks, until Gable formed American Made with Ivy Nile and The Creed Brothers.

Master Gable issued a viral ominous warning last week and turned his attention back to Alpha Academy, promising to unleash his rage and end them for good. Gable will now face Tozawa for the first time ever on tonight's taped RAW from Boston.

"Chad Gable has grown embarrassed by his former faction Alpha Academy. Now backed by American Made, he is determined to dismantle it, beginning with a match against Akira Tozawa. Don't miss all the action of Raw, tonight at 8/7 C on USA," reads the official RAW preview.

Tonight's WWE RAW was taped following last week's show at TD Garden in Boston, and SK Wrestling has full spoilers from the tapings.

WWE has also announced these matches and segments for the episode: Drew McIntyre will open the show, Seth Rollins will discuss CM Punk in a sitdown interview, Dexter Lumis vs. The Miz, plus Alba Fyre vs. Natalya vs. a mystery opponent in the tournament to crown the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion.
