As WWE heads towards its next premium live event, Crown Jewel, an upcoming episode of WWE Raw will occur on Monday in Dallas, Texas. Based on recent announcements, several major superstars are set to return for the episode on Netflix.
Crown Jewel follows in the footsteps of the Wrestlepalooza event. The first-ever WWE event on ESPN Unlimited received disappointing reviews and reactions. It had a few bright spots, including the return of AJ Lee to team with her husband CM Punk and Stephanie Vaquer winning the women’s championship.
Before that, viewers saw WWE Clash in Paris, which featured some significant developments. Among them, The Vision destroyed Roman Reigns in the ring, requiring him to be stretchered out, which took him off WWE television for a while.
He officially returned to attack Bronson Reed and Bronn Breaker on last week’s Raw as part of the show’s grand finale. With that in mind, there’s more on the way from Reigns.

According to an American Airlines Center X post, Roman Reigns will return to the city of Dallas for WWE Raw on Monday, Oct. 6, to kick off the show. Most likely, he could call out his rivals, The Vision, or cut a promo about his next goal.
While Reigns already returned last week, Wrestletalk reports that CM Punk returns to Raw for the first time since he and AJ defeated Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at Wrestlepalooza.
It’s unclear what the next part of Punk’s story will be since that decisive win at WWE’s event on ESPN Unlimited, but some speculation has suggested he will participate in a big Survivor Series match.
Punk was a surprise audience member in a recent episode of “Dancing with the Stars,” showing support for actress Danielle Fishel, best known as Topanga on Boy Meets World. Fishel is also a WWE fan.

With both Reigns and Punk returning to Dallas for Raw, it could make for an intriguing episode, which sets up some new matches or feuds within WWE.
As mentioned, Reigns appeared at late August’s Clash in Paris when he was attacked by The Vision and taken away by stretcher for medical assistance. He returned during the final match on the Sept. 29 Raw and attacked Reed and Breakker with a steel chair.
The former WWE Champion is part of the new movie Street Fighter, which also features fellow WWE star Cody Rhodes. Reigns will play the part of the antagonist Akuma in the film, which premieres Oct. 16, 2026.
