Stamford, December 4 - With the much-anticipated return of CM Punk at Survivor Series, WWE's weekly shows have received a significant boost. However, this week's episode, as of the current writing, does not have Punk advertised. Nevertheless, it boasts a star-studded lineup. ## Scheduled for December 4, 2023, at the MVP Arena in Albany, NY, the show will be broadcast live on the USA Network from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM ET in the United States. For viewers in the UK, WWE Raw airs live at 1 am on Tuesday mornings on BT Sport 1. ## According to early announcements, the highlight of the show is a colossal World Heavyweight Title match featuring champion Seth Rollins defending against Jey Uso. Additionally, Drew McIntyre is set to face Sami Zayn in a singles match, while a Women's singles match will see Shayna Baszler taking on Nia Jax. Last but not least, #DIY and Imperium will strive for a decisive winner in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match. ## Let's check out the top 5 things; ## #1. Seth Rollins To Retain The Title Via DQ ## World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins is set to defend his title against one of the red brand's top stars. Despite not having an ongoing feud with Jey Uso, Rollins surprised fans last week by granting Uso a match for the prestigious World Heavyweight Title. ## This matchup carries the intensity typically associated with pay-per-view events. There's a strong possibility that the encounter could see a disqualification, especially with the potential for Drew McIntyre to intervene and disrupt the proceedings. ## #2. Sami Zayn To Defeat Sami Zayn ## Drew McIntyre has pledged to deliver a powerful Claymore kick to Sami Zayn when the two superstars step into the squared circle to vie for victory. The rivalry escalated last week on Raw when Zayn attempted to reason with The Scottish Warrior after McIntyre's attack on Rollins. Instead of resolving the issue through words, McIntyre issued a challenge for a singles match, further intensifying their conflict. ## #3. The Miz To Challenge Gunther For The Title ## Despite losing to Gunther at Survivor Series: WarGames in their Intercontinental Title Match, The Miz is not ready to back down. In a backstage encounter, The Miz made it clear that he is determined to have another opportunity to challenge for Gunther's Intercontinental Title. ## #4. #DIY To Win Agaisnt Imperium ## #DIY and Imperium are poised to resolve their differences in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match. Both teams entered the Tag Team Turmoil last week, but were unable to secure a victory, leaving lingering issues for both sides. The two teams have exchanged victories in tag team and singles competitions. ## Personally, I strongly believe that #DIY will emerge victorious in this showdown. ## #5. “Big” Bronson Reed To Battled Ivar ## In the previous episode of Raw, "Big" Bronson Reed and Ivar clashed in a hard-fought bout that ended in a double count-out. The two competitors spilled outside the ring, and as the count reached its climax, Reed executed a devastating Death Valley Driver on Ivar into the barricade, resulting in both wrestlers being counted out. ## Although the match is not currently advertised, I have a strong belief that it will unfold this week on Raw. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Stamford, December 3 - After his unexpected comeback to WWE at Survivor Series last weekend, CM Punk made a return to Monday Night RAW on November 27th. ## In the main event segment of the show, Punk delivered a promo in the ring, declaring that he had found his home and undergone a transformation. Concluding the show, he addressed the camera, emphasizing that his return was driven by financial goals rather than forming new friendships.## Booker T, a WWE Hall of Famer and current NXT announcer, recently shared his thoughts on Punk's return promo during an episode of his Hall Of Fame podcast. He expressed his belief that the promo was sincere, shedding light on why Punk might feel that way upon his return to WWE.## "I said [his return promo in AEW] wasn’t the best promo I ever saw, it could have had more substance to it, and a lot of people gave me backlash because I said that, because I didn’t say ‘it was the greatest promo in the world. ## It was a pipebomb!’ In this promo on Monday night, it was a heartfelt promo, that’s what I think. At points in time, CM Punk got caught in the moment a little bit, he almost got choked up a little bit." ## Concerning his upcoming agenda, CM Punk is reportedly in discussions to vie for the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins at WWE Royal Rumble. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Stamford, December 1 - There has been an update regarding WWE RAW's recent television deal negotiations. ## Raw and NXT currently enjoy partnerships with the USA Network, while SmackDown is broadcast on FOX until the fall of 2024. WWE has decided to part ways with FOX and has inked a five-year deal to bring SmackDown back to the USA Network. Simultaneously, NXT is set to migrate to the CW Network. ## This transition for all the shows is scheduled to take place in October 2024. Notably, the new deal secures SmackDown's presence on the USA Network until 2029. Raw is anticipated to depart from the USA Network, a decision influenced by the substantial fees associated with SmackDown's broadcasting rights. However, given the enduring relationship between the WWE and the USA Network, a potential return for Raw is not entirely ruled out, provided both parties can negotiate a favorable agreement. ## Throughout much of the negotiation period, FX emerged as the frontrunner, with discussions involving Netflix, USA, WBD, and Amazon Prime. Initial aspirations targeted a $400 million annual deal, but analysts are now projecting a more realistic figure of around $387 million per year. ## Triple H and WWE President Nick Khan convened in Los Angeles, California, this week to discuss Raw's media rights, which explains Triple H's absence from Monday night's Raw. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer disclosed that WWE is aiming for an annual deal worth $400 million. However, industry analysts predict a more realistic figure closer to $387 million annually. ## For Warner Bros. Discovery, the network currently airing AEW programming, securing the rights to Raw would be a significant development, especially as AEW also needs to secure a new TV deal next year. Privately, insiders at Warner Bros. Discovery have dismissed the notion of TBS or TNT as potential destinations for Raw, contrary to recent rumors. On the WWE side, there has been consistent skepticism about WBD as a viable option, fueled by the belief that WBD holds an ownership stake in AEW. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Seth Rollins To Confront CM Punk ## WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and former WWE Champion CM Punk have been the talk of social media lately. At Survivor Series: WarGames in Chicago on November 25, 2023, Punk made his first appearance in WWE since 2014. ## This week on Raw, Punk will make his first TV appearance in almost a decade and it's been reported that he wants to talk to Rollins. There are multiple reports confirming that a feud between Punk and Rollins is in the works. The first hint of their feud came at Survivor Series when Rollins was seen flipping off Punk. ## #2. Randy To Find His Opponent ## On November 25, 2023, Randy Orton made his highly anticipated return to WWE during the WarGames match at Survivor Series. He teamed up with Cody Rhodes, Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn to defeat The Judgment Day (consisting of Damian Priest, Finn Bálor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh) and Drew McIntyre. ## Orton's comeback was met with a thunderous ovation from the crowd, and he immediately made an impact in the match by executing his signature move, the RKO, on several members of Team SmackDown. There is no information currently available about Orton's future plans within WWE, but it is likely that his next move will be revealed during the show. ## #3. #DIY To Become No. 1 Contenders To The Judgment Day ## Six tag teams - The New Day, Alpha Academy, The Creed Brothers, #DIY, Imperium and Indus Sher - will compete in a Tag Team Turmoil Match to become the No. 1 Contenders for The Judgment Day. ## The rules of the match are simple: two teams will start in the ring, and the winning team will remain to face the next team until only one duo is left standing. The ultimate winner will be crowned the No. 1 Contender for The Judgment Day. #DIY is a newly-formed team, but they look strong enough to make an impact and potentially win the title. ## #4. Tegan Nox & Natalya Defeat Chelsea Green & Pipen Niven To Become The New Champions ## Chelsea Green & Piper Niven defend WWE Women's Tag Team Titles against Natalya & Tegan Nox. Natalya & Tegan Nox win the championship. ## #5. Rhea Ripley To Be On The Show ## Since winning the Women's World Championship, Rhea Ripley has been dominating her opponents. She recently secured a win against Zoey Stark at Survivor Series. However, she hasn't faced any strong opponents who could give her a tough challenge yet. Therefore, WWE needs to up the ante and find a worthy challenger for her title. Becky Lynch could be a potential opponent who fits the bill. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
