"Before we discuss CM Punk's business, I need to quickly acknowledge the firefighters and first responders in California and the surrounding states who are working tirelessly to fight this natural disaster. I want to express my gratitude to everyone in Canada and Mexico who is also sending help. Thank you for your efforts."

Last week, "Monday Night Raw" made its debut on Netflix at the Intuit Dome, with Punk emerging victorious in the first main event of the new era, defeating Rollins.
