Following a backstage interaction with Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio on last week’s show, Penta agreed to put his Intercontinental Championship at stake against a man he idolised growing up. This will be the first of 2 title matches set for the show, as new Women’s Intercontinental Champion Sol Ruca will defend her title against Lyra Valkyria.

As the show is airing live from Paris, France, Raw has an earlier start time. The show starts at 8 pm local time, which will be 7 pm in the UK, 2 pm for the US East Coast, and 11 am for the US West Coast.
