His comeback adds a layer of suspense amid an already intense episode. The card also features two important women’s matches: Becky Lynch will face Maxxine Dupri, while Lyra Valkyria squares off against Roxanne Perez, both promising high stakes and fierce competition.
Top Superstars Set to Appear in Dallas

The Significance of the American Airlines Center as Host Venue
The American Airlines Center, located in Dallas, Texas, has been hosting WWE RAW and SmackDown shows since its opening in 2001. Known as the home of NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and NHL’s Dallas Stars, this venue is prized for its modern facilities and capacity to seat over 18,000 passionate fans. It has served as a key location for numerous WWE events including pre- and post-WrestleMania broadcasts and several major pay-per-views, starting with Survivor Series in 2003. Its energetic atmosphere and state-of-the-art design continuously make it a favored destination for wrestling’s biggest nights.
The Build-Up and What Fans Can Expect Next
The return of CM Punk tonight carries a palpable sense of anticipation among viewers, as his presence often reshapes storylines and intensifies on-screen drama. Coupled with appearances by top-tier talents like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Cody Rhodes, WWE RAW edges closer to its Crown Jewel showdown, raising questions about alliances and rivalries in the weeks ahead. The women’s division also promises to deliver crucial developments through its featured matches. Given the history and stature of the venue, alongside the star-studded card, tonight’s broadcast could mark a pivotal moment in WWE’s ongoing narratives.
