WWE Monday Night Raw will broadcast live tonight, August 18, 2025, from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The episode streams on Netflix starting at 8:00 PM ET. The program features a title defense and continues the build toward the Clash in Paris Premium Live Event following significant developments on the August 11 broadcast.
World Heavyweight Championship Picture World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins is scheduled to appear. Last week, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced that Rollins will defend his championship at Clash in Paris in a Fatal 4-Way match against CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso.
This announcement followed the main event of the August 11 episode, where Rollins interfered in a tag team match pitting Punk and Knight against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, resulting in a disqualification. Jey Uso intervened in the subsequent altercation. The broadcast concluded with Rollins, Breakker, and Reed attacking the three challengers.
Tonight, Jey Uso is scheduled to face Bron Breakker in a singles match.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match Becky Lynch will defend the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Natalya.
Last week, Lynch successfully defended the title against Maxxine Dupri. Following the match, Lynch attacked Natalya, who was at ringside to support Dupri.
IYO SKY vs. Raquel Rodriguez IYO SKY is set to compete against Raquel Rodriguez. Last week, SKY’s scheduled Women’s World Championship match against Naomi was canceled. SKY instead faced Roxanne Perez in an impromptu match. During the contest, Rodriguez appeared at ringside. Subsequent involvement and miscommunication between SKY and The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) contributed to SKY’s defeat.
