Oct 10, 2023
Multiple matches have been announced for next week's 'season premiere' edition of WWE Monday Night Raw, including a pair of big title matches.
Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso won the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships from Finn Balor and Damian Priest of the Judgment Day at Fastlane last weekend. After successfully defending the belts against former champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on last night's Raw, Cody and Jey will again put their titles on the line next week - this time in a rematch against Balor and Priest.
The Intercontinental Championship will also be up for grabs, as record-setting champion Gunther defends against Bronson Reed. Reed's title shot comes after winning a triple-threat match this week against Chad Gable and Ricochet.
Several non-title matches are also confirmed. Last night's Raw saw Shinsuke Nakamura attacked backstage by Ricochet, before returning the favour later on in the night. They're set to face off in a Last Man Standing match next week.
Elsewhere, Rhea Ripley will face Shayna Baszler after the pair came to blows following Ripley's interference in Nia Jax vs. Raquel Rodriguez.
Finally, although one-half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Piper Niven will compete in singles action, taking on Natalya.
