World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns will be at Monday’s WWE Raw in San Diego, California, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced.

Pearce also added two matches to the show, Joe Hendry vs. JD McDonagh and Money in the Bank winner Penta vs. Bron Breakker, in a video posted to his X account.

“The OTC, your World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, will be in the house tomorrow night in San Diego,” Pearce said. “Plus, two matches to get out there: Joe Hendry, who’s been having a bit of a war of words, you might say, will go one-on-one with the targets of his affection, one JD McDonagh, and Mr. Money in the Bank himself, Penta, goes one-on-one with Bron Breakker.”

Reigns missed last week’s Raw in Bossier City, Louisiana, to attend the Los Angeles premiere of Street Fighter, in which he plays Akuma. He retained the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight at Money in the Bank on Oct. 10 in New Orleans, the same night Penta won the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. On last week’s Raw, Carmelo Hayes joined 946 and attacked Solo Sikoa, leaving 946 standing over The Bloodline in the main event.

As of this writing, the following has been announced for Monday’s Raw at Pechanga Arena in San Diego:

• Sami Zayn (c) vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship (announced by WWE)
• Roman Reigns appears
• Joe Hendry vs. JD McDonagh
• Penta vs. Bron Breakker

Raw airs live at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Netflix.
