WWE Raw will offer its season premiere on the USA Network, this week which is coming up with a loaded match card with two more new bouts added to the card. The show will be headlined with the WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart making an appearance in his hometown of Calgary, Alberta.
In addition, it has been announced on X that Mysterio would face Dragon Lee on this episode of WWE Raw. The two were part of a triple-threat match, last week that also involved Ilja Dragunov in a tournament to determine a new number-one contender for the Intercontinental Championship.
During that match on WWE Raw, Carlito came out to interfere by attacking Lee. Damian Priest also arrived at the scene for the save but he was attacked by Mysterio to create a brawl. This allowed Dragunov to steal the win by pinning Lee and move into a fatal-4-way set for this week.

Also announced for WWE Raw is a six-woman tag team where the Pure Fusion Collective members Sonya Deville, Zoey Stark, and Shayna Baszler will go up against Lyra Valkyria, Zelina Vega, and a mystery partner. The match was set up after Vega lost to Baszler last week, and suffered an attack in the hands of the heel faction.
Valkyria ran down to make the save for Vega but she was further attacked in a 3-on-2 situation. When the babyface duo was recovering backstage, Valkyria said that she had an idea for this week and mentioned that the show would be emanating from Calgary.
