The bright lights of Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum shine tonight as WWE Monday Night RAW storms into Wisconsin, promising fans a rollercoaster of excitement and intrigue on September 8, 2025. With the road to Wrestlepalooza heating up, tonight’s card is stacked with high-stakes matchups, returning stars, and pivotal moments that could shape the landscape of WWE for months to come. Whether you’re a die-hard wrestling aficionado or a casual viewer, there’s no denying the buzz surrounding this episode—especially with the exclusive Netflix stream ushering in what many are calling a new era for WWE.
The anticipation for tonight’s RAW is palpable, with fans worldwide tuning in at 8 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Central, 5 p.m. Pacific, and for the night owls across the pond, 1 a.m. in the U.K. and Ireland. The Fiserv Forum is set to erupt as storylines converge, rivalries intensify, and the WWE universe braces for surprises at every turn.
At the center of tonight’s action is the much-awaited showdown between AJ Styles and El Grande Americano. This isn’t just another singles match—there’s a score to settle. Last week, Styles came heartbreakingly close to clinching the WWE Intercontinental Championship, only to have victory snatched away by El Grande Americano’s interference during his clash with “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. The “Phenomenal One” has revenge on his mind, and fans are eager to see if he can channel his frustration into a decisive win or if Americano will once again play spoiler. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the atmosphere is thick with anticipation.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Lyra Valkyria and Raquel Rodriguez are set to lock horns in singles competition—a contest that carries its own undercurrents of tension. Just a week ago, Valkyria found herself in a heated confrontation with Big Mami Cool and Roxanne Perez in Adam Pearce’s office. Valkyria’s return to RAW singles action marks her first since July, when she vied for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship in a memorable tag match against The Judgment Day. Now, she’s got a point to prove and momentum to regain, facing off against a determined Rodriguez in what promises to be a hard-hitting affair.
In a segment that has the WWE universe buzzing, Stephanie Vaquer and IYO SKY will meet in the ring for an official contract signing ahead of their Women’s World Championship match at Wrestlepalooza. The championship scene has been thrown into flux following Naomi’s withdrawal from her scheduled title bout due to pregnancy. With Adam Pearce stepping in to name IYO SKY as Vaquer’s new opponent, tonight’s contract signing is more than a formality—it’s a declaration of intent from two of the division’s most formidable competitors. As the pen meets paper, expect tensions to flare and words to fly. The eyes of the wrestling world are fixed on this moment, with the vacant Women’s World Championship hanging in the balance at Wrestlepalooza.
Meanwhile, the tag team division is anything but quiet. The Usos—Jimmy and Jey—are set to address the WWE universe after reuniting last week to fend off the imposing duo of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. That showdown came hot on the heels of Jey and LA Knight’s narrow tag team loss to The Vision. Tonight, The Usos will lay the groundwork for their brewing rivalry with Breakker and Reed, a feud that’s expected to culminate in a blockbuster clash at Wrestlepalooza. The dynamic between these teams is electric, and fans are eager to see what verbal (or physical) fireworks might erupt during tonight’s segment.
Perhaps the most talked-about return in recent memory, AJ Lee steps back onto Monday Night RAW after nearly a decade away from WWE’s flagship show. Lee’s shocking appearance last week on SmackDown—where she joined forces with CM Punk and delivered a statement-making attack on Becky Lynch—has set the wrestling world abuzz. Her return tonight has everyone guessing: What will she say? How will her presence shake up the women’s division? And, crucially, will she address her future in WWE or set her sights on new rivalries? According to Ringside News, "AJ Lee made her shocking appearance on SmackDown last week where she took out Becky Lynch. She is now set to appear on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, so we’ll have to see what Lee has to say on the show." Seth Rollins is also slated to appear, and it’s likely he’ll weigh in on Lee’s dramatic return, adding another layer of intrigue to an already jam-packed episode.
Tonight’s RAW isn’t just about the matches or the drama—it’s also a showcase for WWE’s evolving broadcast strategy. With Netflix now the exclusive home for Monday Night RAW in the United States and internationally, fans are experiencing the action in a whole new way. The move marks a significant shift in how WWE delivers content to its global audience, and tonight’s episode is the latest chapter in this digital-first approach. As noted across multiple sources, "Monday Night RAW is exclusively available to stream on Netflix in the U.S. and internationally on September 8, 2025." The partnership has energized the fanbase, making it easier than ever to tune in and catch every suplex, promo, and plot twist.
For those keeping track of the evening’s schedule, here’s what’s on tap:
- AJ Styles vs. El Grande Americano
- Lyra Valkyria vs. Raquel Rodriguez
- Stephanie Vaquer and IYO SKY Wrestlepalooza contract signing
- The Usos address Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed

As the WWE universe holds its collective breath, tonight’s RAW is shaping up to be a pivotal episode on the road to Wrestlepalooza. With rivalries intensifying, titles up for grabs, and legends returning, the stakes are sky-high. Will AJ Styles get his redemption? Can Lyra Valkyria make a triumphant comeback? How will the Women’s World Championship picture evolve after the contract signing? And just what will AJ Lee have to say after nearly a decade away from RAW?
One thing’s for sure: the Fiserv Forum is set to witness unforgettable moments, and fans won’t want to miss a second of the action. As the new era of WWE continues to gain steam, all eyes are on Milwaukee tonight. Stay tuned—anything can happen on Monday Night RAW.
