WWE's European tour continues on Monday, with Raw going down from Belfast, Northern Ireland. One of WWE's Irish superstars is looking for a huge win in the night's main event, as Finn Balor will challenge CM Punk for the world heavyweight championship.
Balor was one of the men Punk singled out as a potential challenger after winning the title. Last Monday, Balor laid out a challenge for Punk to give him that exact opportunity. While Punk was ready to go that night, Balor insisted on waiting to take his shot on something approaching the challenger's home turf.
There is another title match set for Monday, with Maxxine Dupri looking to recapture the women's intercontinental championship from Becky Lynch. Dupri has largely had Lynch's number, including winning the intercontinental title from Lynch in November. Lynch finally got a win over Dupri on the first Raw of the year, regaining the title in the process.
CBS Sports will be with you all night with recaps and highlights of all the action from The SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland, beginning at 3 p.m. ET.
