Drake’s Nexus: WWE Raw Preview – August 11, 2025

Location: Centre Vidéotron – Quebec City, Canada

Streaming: Live on Netflix

This Monday night, the red brand is packing its bags and heading north of the border for an action-filled evening that’s sure to light up Quebec City! Between high-stakes title matches, potential breakout moments, and the always unpredictable presence of CM Punk, WWE Raw is bringing the heat.

CM Punk Kicks Off the Show

The night starts with a bang as CM Punk takes the mic to open Raw. What will “The Best in the World” have to say to the WWE Universe in Quebec? 

Will he call out a rival, drop another pipebomb, or maybe tease his next big move? With Punk, expect the unexpected.

Naomi (c) vs. Iyo Sky – Women’s World Championship

Fresh off her successful title defense at SummerSlam, Naomi isn’t slowing down. This Monday, she puts the Women’s World Championship on the line against the high-flying, fast-striking Iyo Sky. The winner will punch their ticket to Clash in Paris later this month, possibly facing Stephanie Vaquer.

Will Naomi’s momentum carry her to another win, or will Iyo’s aerial arsenal catch the champ off guard?

Becky Lynch vs. Maxxine Dupri

It’s “The Man” vs. “The Maximum Star” in a non-title bout that could steal the spotlight. Becky Lynch is looking to keep her winning ways intact, but Maxxine Dupri sees this as her breakout opportunity.

Can Maxxine shock the world and take down one of WWE’s biggest names? Or will Becky give her a tough lesson in main-event experience?

Sami Zayn vs. Rusev

Home-field advantage can be a powerful thing, and Sami Zayn will have the Quebec crowd firmly in his corner. But standing in his way is the brute force of Rusev, fresh off recent tensions involving Sheamus.

Will Zayn ride the wave of local support to victory, or will Rusev crush the hometown hero’s momentum?
