WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has announced new additions to the WWE Raw lineup for Monday’s show in Raleigh, North Carolina, featuring IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. This update follows last week’s intense encounter involving Asuka, Ripley, and IYO SKY, setting the stage for further developments on the Lenovo Center stage.
New Appearances Announced for Monday’s WWE Raw
In a social media video released Sunday afternoon, Adam Pearce confirmed that IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley will appear live during the upcoming episode. The announcement ties directly to the previous week’s main event where Asuka sprayed mist into Ripley’s face and launched an attack on IYO SKY, supported unexpectedly by Kairi Sane, creating tension among the competitors.
Pearce stated,
“After what happened last week, being blindsided by Asuka and Kairi Sane, IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley will be in the house in Raleigh and I’m sure they got something to get off their chest.”
